Artist Statement
My artistic expression is deeply rooted in emotion, spurred by the dynamic interplay between people, environments, and objects that surround me. Fashion, in particular, fascinates me as a medium for self-expression within the context of social imitation. It represents a departure from the past, privileging novelty and innovation over tradition—a departure from the traditional societies where great respect for the old reigns supreme.
With a keen interest in the intersection of storytelling, identity, and fashion, my work is driven by a desire to explore how narratives within the fashion industry shape consumer behavior and product value. Central to this exploration is the notion of individual agency—a proactive engagement with the fashion world that defies passive adherence to its norms.
