Blooming
This body of work describes a personal process of giving myself permission to create. The works move through different states of becoming, beginning with inner conflict and the constraints of self-discipline. The journey continues into confronting and releasing the ghosts of the past, while recognizing the human need for support and safety. Blooming does not appear as a final resolution, but as growth that still carries grief. The gaze turns toward the future, where movement is possible only by accepting what remains within us.
The female body appears not as representation, but as a site that carries weight, memory, hesitation, and persistence. Paint drips and accumulates as experience settles into the body—nothing is wiped away. Expression becomes an act of permission and a claiming of space without justification. Becoming is a continuous act of bearing.
The works invite viewers to reach toward their dreams by making space for themselves—by accepting their past and their right to exist exactly as they are.
