​

I perpetually harbor cynicism towards life. The enchanting scenes I encounter appear as mere illusions. The beauty I've revered for so long reveals itself as a facade. Curiosity propels me to delve beneath the surface, seeking the essence of existence. Yet, beauty withers into decay. I relentlessly pursue what I perceive as superficial, only to be met with disappointment. Adrift on a path leading nowhere, I yearn to construct an ideal world—devoid of people, frustrations, pretensions, and constraints. Perhaps, this utopia mirrors the realm of death. Yet, in death, beauty resonates with amplified intensity.

I select animal imagery, situating them within imaginary realms, utilizing silk as my medium to convey emotions. Through silent observation, I am haunted and tormented.
