Empty calories. Even though this might look like a simple drawing, the red Coke can symbolizes consumer culture and desire, while its crushed form reflects exhaustion and emptiness.

Barbie. At first glance this might look like a cute composition of a Barbie magazine, but beneath the pinks and perfect faces lies a harsh critique of beauty culture.

Beneath skin. Drew this close-up of a pomegranate on my ipad and was created during a period of emotional heaviness. Each seed represents a fragmented piece of self—memories, and wounds, all packed tightly beneath the surface. The pomegranate, often a symbol of fertility, abundance, and even death, reflects the tension between creation and collapse. Its rich red tones mirror the intensity of emotion, while the clustered seeds suggest how overwhelming it can feel to carry so much within a single body

All of me. This self-portrait explores the duality within me, the version I present and the hidden “monster” version lurking just beneath. The aquatic life and insects surrounding the figure represent elements of both beauty and discomfort: vibrant yet eerie, delicate yet alien. Coral and marine creatures symbolizes emotion, fluidity, and the unknown depths of my mind, while insects, often misunderstood, embody transformation, chaos, and quiet resilience.

A self-portrait of a younger version of me soft, sweet, and simple. Looking back now, it reflects how much my aesthetic and identity have evolved over time. Cute then, bolder now.

Just a lily, my favorite flower. I love its elegance, softness, and quiet strength. This piece is more about appreciation than meaning.

Through art, I speak in textures, colours, and composition. This is how I tell stories, express emotion, and make sense of the world around me.
