Original artwork description
My artistic process uses gestural movements that mirror the fluidity of handwriting and calligraphy. While the marks may appear chaotic, they are intentionally crafted to capture the energy of writing, blending spontaneity with control. As the letters dissolve into abstraction, they stretch and fragment, shifting focus from meaning to visual presence.
By using cut-out techniques, I create text that reflects my inner emotional state. Scribbling loosens my hand, letting emotion flow freely, while materials like acrylic, modeling paste, and graphite add depth. These layers form a tactile dialogue between movement, mark-making, and material.

Acrylic, graphite, crayon
