The work explores recognition through symbolic relationships between human, flora, and fauna.

Working with pastel, graphite, ink, and acrylic on grey paper, I create symbolic figures that exist between human and non-human forms. Bodies inhabit fruits, insects become thresholds, and animals emerge as presences.

Rather than illustrating stories, I explore the ways symbolic forms shape our understanding of protection, transformation, and identity.

Each work is created slowly, layer by layer, allowing the image to emerge rather than be imposed. I approach drawing as a process of discovery, where symbolic forms reveal inner structures that are often difficult to name, yet deeply familiar.
