Artist Statement

What remains of an experience once the event itself has passed?

My paintings investigate the shifting territory between memory and perception. I am interested in how experiences continue to evolve after they occur — how they are revised through remembering, shaped by subsequent events, and transformed by changing perspectives.

Working through abstraction, I create layered compositions in which forms emerge, dissolve, overlap, and reconnect. Rather than representing specific places, narratives, or moments, these visual structures function as traces: fragments that remain open to change and resistant to fixed interpretation.

The work is rooted in the idea that memory is not an archive but an active process. Experiences do not remain intact over time; they acquire new associations, lose others, and take on different meanings. What is remembered is continually influenced by the present, just as the present is shaped by what is remembered.

I approach painting as a space in which this process becomes visible. Through repetition, transparency, interruption, and reconstruction, the works explore how meaning remains fluid rather than fixed, and how perception continuously reshapes our understanding of experience.
