Fragments of Life is a contemplative piece inspired by the serene, yet striking, presence of cows on a local farm. Often seen resting near the road, these animals exude a sense of quiet dignity and grace.
Through this painting, I intended to explore themes of detachment in the relationship between animals with humans. The painting reflects the way animals are often reduced to mere fragments of their true being in the context of industrial farming. The work encourages viewers to reflect on the fragmented bond between humans and the animals we share our world with, inviting a deeper understanding.

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."
