Seeds of Change

“Change is the essence of existence - a constant, inevitable force that shapes our lives, our identities, and the world around us. As an artist, I am drawn to the concept of transformation, exploring the tension between what was, what is, and what could be. This work serves as a visual meditation on the beauty and complexity of change in life, capturing moments of destruction, evolution, and renewal.

Through my art, I seek to express the impermanence of all things - how time wears away the old to make space for the new, how nature shifts effortlessly with the seasons, and how personal growth emerges from moments of discomfort and uncertainty. I strive to reflect the emotions and movement inherent in transformation.

Change can be unsettling, but it is also a source of creativity and rebirth. My artistic practice embraces this duality, inviting the viewer to see change not as an end, but as a beginning. Even for this series, I used a different approach, different medium, and different subject matter than what I’ve done in the past.”
