A new chapter
Art that emerges from a necessity to make visible what was silenced for way too long.
After a traumatic childhood shaped by survival through compliance and making myself invisible, my body eventually forced a rupture. Painting became the place where I stopped disappearing. What began as a search for safety evolved into an ongoing confrontation with emotional flashbacks, coping mechanisms and the cautious hope of transformation.
Living with the unseen disability of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, I am constantly pulled between isolation and connection. Through painting and assembling I create visual messages — first for myself, and then for others — that acknowledge the brutality of my experiences while insisting on the possibility of beauty.
