Forever is Not Ours, seeks to explore the complex and paradoxical nature of human mortality.
I believe that there is a strange and haunting beauty in the impermanence of life, looking into the interplay between life and death and how time serves as a constant reminder of our fragile existence. These hazy, ghostly portraits serve as mirrors to ourselves, not to be dark or haunting but to infuse a sense of beauty and grace that serves as a counterpoint to the inevitability of our own mortality.
I seek to break down the taboo subject surrounding death and to confront the viewer with its inevitable presence in our lives. At the same time, through experience, I am keenly aware of the sadness and tragedy of our mortality. Through my work, I hope to evoke a range of emotions and questions in the viewer. Ultimately, my goal is to explore and understand the mysteries of life and death. I believe that by confronting our own mortality through art, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the preciousness and fragility of life.
