For me, collage is a multidimensional language that holds space for grief, humor, and reflection. It allows me to ask questions, imagine exits, and speak gently through complexity. I work with a limited number of images, often combining them with thread. Without thread, I almost can’t talk; it has become my alphabet, a way to hold what cannot be fully said. Each collage is a quiet composition of fragments, textures, and tension, a layered pause in the middle of uncertainty.
