My work is guided by the tension between reflection and reality, where mirrored forms signal asymmetry and resist perfect overlap. Just as reality produces repetitions that are never truly identical, identity too contains misalignments—spaces where the self diverges from external perception, where expectations fracture. The mirrored image reveals the impossibility of total alignment and instead makes room for multiplicity, contradiction, and the unresolved. It is within this tension that I locate my practice: a refusal of seamlessness, a celebration of the fractures where the self becomes visible.
