In my work, I explore the art of cultivating happiness. How does it feel? What do I think about it? How do I relive it? Each piece becomes an invitation to create and inhabit a moment of rapture, to spark a sensation so powerful it demands to be felt by both the creator and the viewer. Here, nostalgia brushes against reality.

Happiness is fleeting. In my younger years, I didn't understand how to summon this coveted yet underrated bliss. Over time, my practice became the key- unlocking a steady stream of pure delight that allows me to feel more deeply than I ever thought imaginable.
