What it takes (2025)

What does it take to adapt — to move between languages, cultures, or ways of being? These questions resist fixed answers, as transformation is never singular. Transitions unfold gradually, shaped by moments of clarity and doubt. They involve a constant negotiation between resilience and uncertainty, adaptation and loss — an ongoing process of self-construction and erasure. In a world where change is constant, deconstruction becomes not only a method but a condition of contemporary existence.

This series explores the emotional complexity of transformation. I translate these shifts into visual form by intuitively bending paper, creating three-dimensional works in which the boundaries between visibility and concealment, shared identity and private self, are blurred.
