I explore the domestic as a site of memory, identity, and the uncanny. Through drawing, painting, and installation, I reconfigure familiar elements of the home, doors, windows, furniture, placing them in unexpected relationships to blur the line between representation and reality. My drawings ground spaces in memory, while my paintings shift perception, creating layered, intimate environments. By staging these elements, I aim to reveal the quiet emotional undercurrents of everyday life and how domestic spaces can be both lived environments and theatrical stages where familiarity and strangeness intersect.
