What it takes 

What does it take to adapt — to move between languages, cultures, or ways of being? These questions resist fixed answers, for transformation is never singular. It unfolds gradually, shaped by moments of clarity and doubt. Each transition becomes a continual 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 also a condition of contemporary existence. We break apart in order to reassemble. We let go of one version of ourselves to become another.

This body of work, featuring abstract geometric compositions, explores the emotional complexity of transformation I have experienced during significant life changes. Handmade paper forms trace the psychological and emotional shifts that followed these transitions. By intuitively bending and shaping paper into three-dimensional forms, I translate these internal movements into a visual language. The act of working with paper externalises emotions that are often difficult to articulate in words.
