“As a collage artist, I am drawn to the challenge of creating depth, emotion, and narrative using nothing but paper and glue. Each piece is an intricate exploration of color, texture, and form—layer upon layer of cut and torn paper, meticulously arranged to reveal expressive and intimate portraits. My work is deeply influenced by human connection, storytelling, and the beauty found in imperfection. I am fascinated by how the fragments can come together to form a cohesive whole.”
