I Don’t Know How Else To Love

Artist Statement: Drawing has become a long-overdue reunion with myself. An endless process of unraveling and confrontation with the unexplored territory of my own mind.

I’m pulled toward the emotions we obsessively try to avoid – the guilt, the anxiety, the shame, the unspoken pains that are often discarded as too hard to digest. Instead, I believe we should give them space and find clarity within them. And through ink, I learn to stay.

On a blank page, these feelings find a safe room, an easier way to simply exist without judgment. In this quest, I find dark surrealism to be a straightforward path to our deepest, most forgotten corners. It is raw, unfiltered, it cuts through the noise of daily life, connecting directly to our subconscious. I find it deeply healing, in its own quiet way.
