Artist statement

My identity as an artist is shaped by a desire to explore themes that resonate with me on a personal level. I choose subjects based on their relevance and meaning in my life. When I encountered philosophies centered on the bond between humans and animals, I felt inspired to delve into this relationship in my current body of work.

This series examines two forms of interaction: people with their pets and those who share experiences volunteering with animals. Each of the nine artworks captures unique moments in these relationships, unified by a central theme—humans and animals as partners, not as masters and subjects. Through my art, I aim to celebrate these moments of connection, reminding viewers of our place within the natural world and inspiring a deeper appreciation for the animals that share our lives.
