Arrival

Water serves as a metaphor for the continuous flow of time. Ice represents frozen time, holding the potential for transformation. Paint represents creativity and chaos, echoing human emotion's complex and multifaceted nature. As the ice melts, it reveals hidden shapes, symbolizing the emergence of new possibilities. Each of my installations captures the interplay of these elements, generating new forms and meanings. They reflect on how our perception of time and space shifts under the influence of various forces, and how the encounter with the unknown can reshape our understanding of reality.
