My final project of 2025 was about my relationship with my mother; it was a difficult period for me, and I saw this as an opportunity to express my feelings.
It's about the feeling of being stuck in a situation that you can't get out of. You feel like a puppet, used, forced to do things you don't want to do. It feels so heavy that you can't take it anymore and that’s where i express my feelings on paper.
Puppet 2025: clay, latex, fabric, hair, iron wire, aluminum, tape, needle, safety pin, watercolor, acrylic paint, hot glue.
Mix media painting 2025: A3 paper, newspaper, acrylic paint, soft pastel, oil pastels, watercolor, charcoal, glue, tape, colored pencils.

It's about AI taking over art and you see a kind of robotic hand coming out, a signal that you should be more aware. The frame that is at an angle creates tension and gives the illusion that that hand is really crawling out.
