"Eclipsed Bloom" captures the delicate tension between the brilliance of life and the inevitable pull of darkness. The sunflower, a symbol of vitality and warmth, is slowly overtaken by shadow, representing the impermanence of all things. This painting reflects transience and how moments of light, however brilliant, must eventually coexist with moments of darkness. It speaks to all our experiences as humans, acknowledging that both light and shadow are essential parts of the same cycle, and that beauty can still be found in the moments of transition. In this work, the sunflower’s fading glow invites reflection on the delicate balance between life’s vibrant peaks and its inevitable decline.

My art is deeply influenced by personal experiences of loss, emigration, and illness. Through the fluid spontaneity of watercolor, I explore emotion and impermanence, using the medium’s unpredictability to guide the narrative. My compositions are inspired by ikebana, conveying fragility and the beauty of what is broken and lost.
"Each day, I approach my work with deep gratitude, recognizing the privilege and ability to translate paint onto paper. The act of guiding color through flowing rivers and tumultuous streams of water, ultimately arriving at a narrative shaped by these elements, is both my greatest joy and artistic fulfillment."
