Project description

The fragility of our world is undeniable, and our existence is precariously balanced. As we face the possibility of oblivion due to escalating nuclear tensions, I use expansive paintings and anguished sculptures to delve into this theme. Through my work, I aim to connect the past and future, serving as a solemn reminder that failing to remember our history leaves us vulnerable to repeating it.
