Artist Statement
My work explores the butterfly effect—how small choices can shape outcomes. Without planning, I create intuitively, letting each mark guide the next. Each piece develops its own identity, even when made with the same materials. My art is a reflection of the human experience: layered, unpredictable, and shaped by choice.
