My works serve as an exploration of my identity as an artist and as a person. Influenced by personal experience, my art is a reflection of my mentality. Whether literal or figurative, my artwork is a statement on how I interpret my memories and emotions.

One aspect of my art is my tendency to focus on the attention to detail. As a person on the autism spectrum, I feel the need to draw or paint each detail to get it just right. I also have the habit of sticking to a routine whenever I create my works, but there are moments when I change it.
In interpreting my thoughts and emotions through my work, I am expressing the feelings my mind creates. Whether it is a memory from my childhood or a sense of recollection
