While much of my work has focused on looking at the world around us, and critiquing the way we view others, "Reflection" is an introspective journey. Through fractured light and shattered reflections, my exhibition guides viewers in confronting the multifaceted nature of self.

By combining black on black canvases with broken glass fragments, I aim to symbolize the imperfect, ever-changing landscape of our inner worlds. Each piece in the collection represents a moment of self-discovery, where fragments of our past, present, and future selves converge – inviting us to embrace our complexities and find beauty in the brokenness.

My work encourages viewers to gaze deeper, beyond the surface level, and explore the intricate reflections of their own identities and perspectives."
