the work speaks for itself.

"Each line is now the actual experience with its own innate history.
It does not illustrate — It is the sensation of its own realization." - Cy Twombly
"My art explores the fundamental language of drawing through unconventional means. I use thread, string, and ink on paper, seeking to liberate the line from conscious control. By dipping these flexible materials in ink, I investigate their inherent physical properties, initially on a horizontal plane and later vertically on the wall, observing the captivating interplay of gravity. I'm drawn to the unrestrained marks and serendipitous events that arise from materials saturated in ink, fascinated by the tension between the fixed and the falling. Inspired by daily life's rhythms, patterns, and materials, particularly crafts traditionally associated with women like stitching, mending, and weaving, my work evokes a sense of familiarity. The repetitive patterns in the
Line Studies drawings recall textiles, resembling threads on a loom, woven together on paper. This work is grounded in meditative inquiry, emphasizing process and presence. The tactile surfaces and recurring linear motifs invite the viewer into an internal, quiet realm. By reducing the drawing process to its most basic elements, a more authentic and immediate expression emerges, transforming the act of drawing into a form of visual poetry. —
