Artist Statement

My practice investigates perception as an embodied, time-based experience. Rather than treating painting as an image, I approach it as a site that models how we encounter color, light, and atmosphere through the body. I question what a painting can hold and how it might function as a space for sensory awareness. In this way, my paintings become a tool for slowing down perception and making visible the instability, indeterminacy, and wonder embedded in the lived experience.

Color is central to this inquiry. Shaped by light and duration, it operates as both a carrier of emotion and a metaphor for perception itself: never fixed, contingent, and shaped by time. Through a stain-based process, pigment moves across the surface until absorption, evaporation, and gravity assert their limits. These material thresholds echo perceptual encounters when light shifts and alters our field of vision, producing ephemeral experiences that are immersive and difficult to name. My work invites uncertainty as a generative condition. Each painting becomes a record of looking, a space where perception remains open, provisional, and continually becoming.
