"WHAT NOW?"
                      The Collection

In What Now?, I explore a question that has emerged as I enter my thirties: What have I learned from my younger self, and where am I going now? Through oils, found materials, fresh flowers, and smoked cigarettes, I reflect on the beauty of time passing and the growing distance between my present self and memories of youth. These materials invite contemplation, evoking a longing to return to an idealized past while confronting the need to accept what is here now. The collection holds these impulses in tension: wanting to return to what was/ what could have been while considering how to move forward.
