Home is often thought of as a stable and familiar site. Yet in my work, “home” is anything but fixed. It becomes a space that shifts over time, reshaped by perception and memory. My practice begins from this sense of instability. Through drawing, painting, and installation, I reconstruct domestic interiors grounded in remembrance. Transformed through reinterpretation, these spaces are not replicas of their sources but reinventions born of recall. In the process, a new terrain emerges where the past and present merge.  

Through the languages of painting and drawing, my pieces also consider how space has been traditionally constructed in the history of image-making. Strategies such as perspective handling, flattening, repetition, and shifts in scale are used not to stabilize space but to unsettle it, permitting memory to disrupt the logic of representation, holding the image together while it simultaneously unravels.

As these spaces unfold, they hover between the familiar and the strange, forming a threshold between recollection and imagination. In staging these environments, the rituals and repetitions of daily life shape the home as both a lived site, and a mirror of the self, where familiarity and unease quietly converge.
