I'm a  visual storyteller.
Through words, sketches, and textiles I search for what usually remains unspoken — fragile desires, hidden romances, and the quiet languages of the body.

 

My work often begins with fragments: a sudden sentence, a quick sketch of a hand or an eye, a piece of fabric waiting for a secret to be embroidered.

I am fascinated by body parts as narrators. Hands that tremble, hair that longs to be touched, eyes that reveal too much — they speak for us when we cannot. These details become lines of poetry, drawings, or textiles that people can carry, wear, or stumble upon in the street. Sometimes they are stitched into the hidden lining of a garment, sometimes they appear on a handkerchief, and sometimes they live only briefly, left behind for a stranger to discover.

My practice moves between private and public, intimacy and exposure, tenderness and mischief. I want to give shape to the emotions that slip away in conversation, the thoughts we swallow before they become words.

I believe that when we face our fears, we no longer need to fight. For me, romance is a disarming force: it lowers defenses, interrupts conflict, and opens a space for tenderness. Each piece I create — whether a sketch, a poem, or a textile — is an invitation to pause, to smile, and perhaps to recognize your own secret in mine
