– ‘“Roll for Meaning” captures the chaotic, playful nature of creativity—where frustration, randomness, and joy collide. Referencing idioms and a glue-game board, it reframes confusion as progress. The painting suggests meaning isn’t fixed or logical, but discovered through the unpredictable journey of making, trusting that something worthwhile will eventually emerge.’ –

– ‘“Garnished with a Lie” uses a beautifully plated rotten fish to expose how deception can be masked by charm or presentation. Inspired by the question, “Would you believe a lie you wouldn’t eat?” it critiques surface-level trust and urges viewers to question what falsehoods they may be unknowingly consuming.’ –

– ‘“A Quiet Destruction” explores slow, silent decay—beauty unraveling over time. A tree-like form stitched with red thread symbolizes fragile hope or failed repair, while unstable plaster textures embody erosion. The work physically changes, reflecting how silence, time, and neglect—not chaos—often undo what once held firm. It embraces impermanence fully.’ –
