Much of my work explores the tension between strength and vulnerability, examining how stability is constructed. Using oil and acrylic on canvas, I focus on the fragile architecture of human experience: its emotional depth, volatility, and capacity for resilience. Moving from country to country, in search of a place to call home, I have experienced the longing for stability and the tenuous sense of belonging. During this time, I began to see the world as something unpredictable yet full of possibilities, much like a balloon: easily unsettled, yet capable of carrying lightness and joy. This image became a central metaphor in my work. Balloons hold pressure and risk collapse, but they are also enduring symbols of celebration. Through vivid colour and carefully constructed forms, I transform instability and fear into visual expressions of hope, where moments of crisis hold the potential for growth and transformation.
