My research interrogates identity as an unstable, fragmented architecture rather than a fixed entity. I view the canvas as a site of negotiation, where experiences of dislocation, loss, and reconstruction materialize through physical tensions, resistances, and a perpetual search for tonal resonance. Abstraction allows me to bypass illustrative narrative in favor of a cathartic ontology, constructing a visual field where meaning remains unresolved and in a state of constant slippage.

The central conceit of my work is the formation of identity as a collection of disparate fragments. I operate through successive stratifications, employing mixed media and natural fixatives to allow traces of collapse and rebirth to coexist upon the surface. The pictorial plane functions as a territory of mediation—an unstable archive of gestures, erasures, and sedimentations.

There is no stable center within my compositions. The viewer’s gaze is compelled to drift, fragment, and reassemble, mirroring a condition of perennial ontological instability. Within this precariousness, painting becomes an act of resilience. Beauty does not emerge from harmony or classical order, but from the fierce persistence of elements that refuse to dissolve.

My work inhabits this tension, positioning fragmentation not as a deficit, but as a generative condition. It provides the essential scaffolding for the emotional reality of the displaced child—a fragmentation that, through the evolution of self-awareness, eventually reveals itself as a source of profound and multifaceted richness.
