Beloved Child

Born into the weight of tradition, I have carried expectations like sacred relics honored, yet heavy on my soul. My faith, once a foundation, now echoes with guilt and unanswered questions, where grace feels distant and redemption uncertain. In this body of work, I gather fragments of my past objects stained with memory, both tender and tormenting to confront the self I’ve hidden and the sinner I’ve become. Between duty and doubt, I wander a path where forgiveness is not given, but slowly found. This installation is my confession: a quiet plea for peace, and an offering to the flawed, beloved self I’m still learning to accept.
