After years of struggling with crippling anxiety and depression, in 2018, I'd finally found a way to cope with the turmoil that was my mind. Art has given me the space to release what I cannot always put into words and feel the emotions that make me human. My work not only reflects the weight of those emotions but also the beauty in pain and change. Through art, I have learned to transform the very thing that has made me feel so weak into something expressive. I create not only for me, but for anyone who sees themselves in my pieces and feels a little less alone because of it.
