I never plan anything!
Whenever I try to plan and have reasons for my work, the reasons trap me in a prison of self-doubt. I get lost in the shadows of fear and conformity, trying to align my work with the expectations and thoughts of others.
But ever since I started making art, I found a way around my fears. I've now stopped to rationalise my own work and instead plunged myself into the unknown. Not knowing where I'll be going, only with the assurance that I'll arrive somewhere.
So whenever I start new work, I close my eyes and surrender - allowing my emotions and memories to flow freely. Letting the whispers from my inner world guide my hands, which slowly turns each work into frozen memories embodying my fears, sexuality, and the echoes of my childhood.
