ABOUT

ARTIST STATEMENT Some wounds are invisible and live in silence, beyond the reach of words. In psychotherapy/psychoanalysis, I listen to what is spoken and unspoken—helping to gather the fragmented self, reweave interrupted narratives, and imagine new ways of living after trauma. Where language fails, art begins. I translate the unspoken and unseen dimensions of psychic experience into material form, color, and texture. My work seeks to bridge private pain and shared human experience, inviting connection beyond words.
