My work explores the emotional terrain of mental illness, death, and grief through the unsettling yet delicate medium of dolls, illuminated by dynamic and often dramatic lighting. I use these figures not as playthings, but as fragile stand-ins for the human condition, silent, expressive, and unnervingly still. Each scene is carefully constructed to evoke vulnerability, isolation, or inner chaos, creating a visual narrative that speaks to the psychological weight of trauma and memory.
Dynamic lighting plays a central role in my practice, casting shadows that echo the complexity of the subjects I engage with. It reveals what hides beneath the surface, heightens tension, and imbues each piece with a cinematic intimacy. Through this interplay of light and form, I aim to make visible the invisible, to give form to anguish, to freeze fleeting emotions, and to create space for viewers to confront and reflect on the fragility of existence.
My dream is to be a full-time artist and make art that connects to people who have experienced dark times and possibly help them through it.
