About the Item
In the symphony of life, dissonance rings,
Harmony disrupted by conflicting things.
Idea clash like cymbals, passions collide,
Yet through discord, new melodies abide.
Each soul a note in this grand human choir,
Diverse in tone, in rhythm, in desire.
Yet in the dissonance, there lies a chance,
To find unity in our shared dance.

Artist Statement
In my work, I strive to embody the timeless wisdom encapsulated in the slogan "simplicity is the highest sophistication." Inspired by the elegance found in simplicity, I seek to distill complex concepts and emotions into their purest forms. Through minimalistic compositions and restrained aesthetics, I aim to evoke profound responses and ignite contemplation within the viewer.
My creative process is guided by a commitment to stripping away excess, leaving only the essential elements that resonate deeply with the human experience using colors. By embracing simplicity, I invite viewers to engage with my work on a visceral level, encouraging introspection and fostering connections between the self and the universal.
