Artist Statement

Nature is the primary source of inspiration for my creativity. Through my works, I aim to convey the harmony and fragility of nature. Each of my pieces is an attempt to capture that unique moment, which may be fleeting, yet incredibly precious at the same time.

I work with various techniques and materials, often combining traditional and contemporary approaches. My goal is to convey not only the outward appearance of nature but also its depth, the emotional resonance it evokes. Through my works, I want to convey the vulnerability of the surrounding world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
