The Day

Struggling,

I try to solve the problem with a deep breath.

But reason is not always the answer.

How did he forsake his identity?

I lack the strength to embrace the present.

To suffer freely—

I find myself smiling brightly

At the indifference of those who pass by.

Trauma fragments memory into incomplete and disjointed impressions, often stored without a coherent narrative. These fragments appear unpredictably, reflecting the disordered and broken nature of the original experience. My paintings explore these fractured memories, portraying specific moments as they exist in my mind—rough and unrefined, yet deeply tied to personal experiences.
