Statement
My inquiry addresses universal themes such as existence, time, being, archetypes, and language, which transcend cultures and epochs. The subject, always implicit, is shaped by the symbols and meanings it constructs. Like a flow, meaning is constantly reconfigured, while the archetype remains still static, perfect in its condition. I turn to the raw materiality of ink, ash, earth, gold leaf, and paper as a vehicle to intertwine the isolated elements of this cosmogony—both personal and universal
