“I keep folded scraps of wrapping paper, still with bits of tape clinging to them, and drawings tucked away in my bedside table. They are fragments of moments, fleeting memories I refuse to throw away. I have always found beauty in reuse, in giving a second life to what was once discarded. ‘Reuse to preserve’ is more than just a practice — it’s a philosophy that guides my work. Through my collages, I capture the dynamism of a world in constant transformation. The vibrant colors and overlapping textures become a reflection of my emotions and my deep connection to nature. My art is a bridge between the personal and the collective, an invitation to rethink our relationship with materials, memory, and the environment. I seek to raise awareness through aesthetics, allowing chaos and spontaneity to play a role in the visual narrative. In each piece, disorder turns into harmony, revealing new perspectives on the ephemeral and the enduring.”
