How does your background in advertising influence your
artistic approach, especially when considering the
communicative power of visual language in both
commercial and artistic spaces?
My background in advertising has given me a strong understanding
of visual language, especially how it can quickly convey emotions
and narrative. In both commercial and artistic contexts, visual
language is essential for engaging viewers, and I apply this to create

taught me how to balance aesthetic appeal with emotional depth,
allowing me to create a unique style that expresses my own
exploration of self and identity. I often hear my work described as
“creepy” or “charged,” which resonates with me because it captures
the intensity and tension I feel in my self-exploration. I think of my
work as a reflection of my inner journey, constantly challenging and
redefining what it means to be human.
