What it takes 

What does it take to adapt — to move between languages, cultures, or ways of being? These questions resist fixed answers, because transformation is never singular. It unfolds gradually, shaped by moments of clarity and doubt. Each transition is 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. Handmade paper forms trace the psychological and emotional shifts that followed major life transitions. By intuitively bending and shaping paper into three-dimensional forms, I translate these shifts into visual language. The act of working with paper externalises emotions that are often difficult to express in words.
