Mom

In this photograph, my mother stands by the open refrigerator, retrieving food she prepared especially for us. After a year apart, my daughter and I have finally come to visit her, and this reunion fills the home with a special warmth. For my mother, feeding us is much more than simply offering food; it’s her way of expressing maternal love, embracing us without words, and making up for all that was missed during our time apart.

A glance of a century

This picture was taken on my grandmother's 100th birthday. Her face is lined with deep wrinkles that tell the story of a century's worth of experiences. I spoke with her exploring my national identity, which made her dive into memories.

Ophelia

My work is a contemporary reimagining of the character of Ophelia, where a man takes the place of the tragic heroine. What if Ophelia were a man? How would our perception of tragedy, vulnerability, and the inner world of the character change? This work doesn't simply swap the gender of the character; it asks the question: what does it mean to be Ophelia in today's world? A man can also be a symbol of fragility and loneliness, facing the same inevitable fate as his classical predecessor. Human emotions are universal.
