Secrets

Secrets is a series of small-scale works pulled directly from my sketchbook. These pieces serve as a means of giving form to the aspects of myself that usually remain unspoken or suppressed. The faces and figures function as emotional proxies, or scapegoats onto which I project inner-conflicts. I deliberately interrupt these figures with overlaid text, imposing harsh judgments, confessions, or revelations that disrupt and complicate the image.

Most works in the series are intentionally small and intimate in scale, mirroring how secrets, when carried over time, quietly distort self-perception and warp the way we see ourselves.
