From the ashes of my past... I rise.

“Through the Ashes stands as a powerful testament to the memories of my childhood, each imbued with its own weight and significance. It serves as an impactful reflection of experiences I had long buried, yet felt compelled to confront through my art. In this haunting portrayal of turmoil, conflict, and loss, I delve into the depths of despair and confinement, but also unearth the resilience of the human spirit. Amidst the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope, a testament to the unshakeable will to survive and the courage to confront and transcend the traumas of the past. Through this evocative piece, I embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, acknowledging that only by confronting the past can we truly embrace the possibilities of the future.”
