Between Motherhood and Art

Between Healing and Expression

Why I Create

I create to understand what it means to be human. My work is grounded in lived experience, including motherhood, migration, identity, loss, and mental health.

Through moving image, installation, and storytelling, I explore the quiet emotions that shape our lives.

Art, for me, is a way of healing and turning silence into language. I believe vulnerability has strength. When we show what we usually hide, we begin to connect with ourselves and with others.

 

Each piece starts from a real moment, sometimes painful, sometimes hopeful, and grows into something shared.

Gone With The Wind

I have often felt like an autumn leaf,

lifting into a blue sky,

carried further and further

until I am no longer visible.


No one knows where the leaf will land.

No one cares.
