My practice investigates the tension between an indifferent exterior and emotional presence. I create painting-objects that concentrate color as a material form of emotion. Pigment becomes movement temporarily fixed in matter.

The velvety, often unprotected surfaces emphasize vulnerability and risk. Material fragility reflects emotional exposure — not as weakness, but as a deliberate strategy.

Working within conditions of uncertainty, I do not attempt to resolve instability. Instead, my works function as orientational anchors. They offer a sense of safety despite the unpredictability of their surroundings.

In my practice, safety does not emerge from durability, but from the intensity of presence.
