"Ignited Flight of Icarus" is interpreted in multiple ways. It is a metaphor for risk, transformation, or simply an representation of human fragility and vulnerability. Icarus in Greek mythology is known for his tragic fate of flying too close to the sun with wings made of feathers and wax, resulting in his downfall when the wax melted, causing him to fall into the sea and drown.

“The central theme of my works is coined "Morbid Pastel". It is characterized by the juxtaposition of dark themes and soft palette creating a deceptive colorful atmosphere of subtle horror.”
