There came a moment when I had to stop.
Not by choice—but by necessity. Burnout unraveled the life I had built, thread by thread, until only silence remained. In that stillness, I rediscovered what truly sustains me: creating with intention, exploring the unseen, and growing through reflection.

Now, I follow a different rhythm—one shaped not by deadlines or expectations, but by instinct, memory, and story.
Through photography, digital painting, and visual journaling, I explore identity, transformation, and the fragile beauty of in-between moments.
