SOMETHING NEW IS TAKING FORM - STEP CLOSER AND SEE IT UNFOLD ⤻
Observing Pain Points •
Cross-Sections of Fragmented Sensuality, Unfolded Up Close, Mapped & TraceD (Portraits)
Poiesis and poetry are emotional experiences - an orchestra of color, texture, and composition. My work does not seek fixed representations but evolving mappings of presence, perception, and experience. Moving through both inner and outer landscapes, I engage with pain - not as something to overcome, but as a force that shapes, reveals, and transforms.
Through painting, textile-based media, and photography, I trace shifting states of being. Layers of material and memory inscribe themselves onto surfaces, mirroring the ways we navigate sensuality, introspection, and rupture. Instead of imposing order, my work offers a lens to witness complexity as it is: fluid, layered, unfolding.
Being surrounded by poetic experiences fosters aesthetic pleasure, grounding us in our own senses while creating spaces that invite connection and intimate conversations.
My collection of Artworks can be viewed directly from WORKS, divided into three periods.

POIESIS
Poiesis, from the ancient Greek ποιεῖν - “to make.” A word that pulses through language and matter, entwined with poetry, its close kin. In biology, hematopoiesis speaks of the formation of blood cells - life itself in a state of becoming. In art, poiesis is the act of bringing forth, of making the unseen visible. It is both process and transformation, a continuous unfolding.
IN / EX HIBITION
To inhibit is to hold back, restrain, keep within. To exhibit is to display, reveal, bring into presence. These opposing forces shape the act of showing - between concealment and revelation, intimacy and exposure, withholding and offering.
From the Latin exhibere - to hold out, to present - exhibition is not just a space for art but a gesture, an encounter, a negotiation between what is seen and what remains just beyond sight. It is sustenance, a way of holding space, a way of giving and receiving.
