ABOUT

​

Flowers exist in a strange emotional space. They are offered in love, grief, celebration, apology, and mourning — symbols of beauty that are already in the process of disappearing.

 

My work uses floral still life to explore the quieter and more uncomfortable aspects of human experience: fragility, vulnerability, tension, deterioration, and emotional exposure. Through intimate cropping, dramatic shadow, and stripped-back compositions, familiar forms become psychologically charged and increasingly uneasy.

 

I’m interested in the moment attraction shifts into discomfort — when beauty begins to feel unstable, invasive, or unresolved. Petals bruise, stems collapse, light dissolves into darkness, and the floral form becomes less decorative and more human.

Rather than offering comfort, the paintings invite prolonged looking. They exist in the space where intimacy becomes disquiet and beauty no longer feels entirely safe.
