I Simply wanted to explore what lies beneath the surface of who we are.

I felt like often we present only fragments of ourselves to the world.

The parts we are comfortable with. While so much remains hidden in silence.

i feel as if the ones hidden within that silence are worth showing.

For me, silence is where our truest stories live. We spend much of life presenting only

fragments of ourselves the parts that feel safe to show while the rest stays hidden in quiet corners. These silences are not empt. They are full of memories, contradictions, and emotions that shape who we are. Souls is an attempt to give form to that hidden Side.

Black and white strips everything down to essence. Without color, there is no distraction only contrast, depth, and shadow. To me, it mirrors the way our inner worlds exist.Not polished, but raw and layered. Light and darkness coexist in all of us, and working in monochrome allows those dualities to emerge with greater clarity.

Emotions live in the body, even when we do not name them. A gesture, a tilt of the head, a tension in the hands these small details carry entire worlds. I try to listen to those invisible movements and translate them into forms that feel suspended, as if caught in the act of both holding on and letting go. That space between strength and fragility is where the truth of the soul often reveals itself.

Each piece inevitably contains fragments of me, because I can only work through my own silences, my own shadows. But I do not think of them as self-portraits. They are mirrors, not just of myself, but of the human condition. I pour myself in so that someone else might recognize themselves too.

Completely. I’ve always felt that a Soul finds you when you are ready for it. It’s not about aesthetics or preference, it’s about resonance. A collector doesn’t choose a piece because it looks beautiful in a room. They are chosen because the work reflects something they already carry inside, even if they weren’t conscious of it before.

I’ve had people tell me they felt both confronted and comforted at the same time. Some say it changed the way they think about life, even with tears, unable to explain why a piece touched them. Those are the moments that remind me why I create art not to please or decorate, but to awaken something deep and unspoken.

I imagine it as a recognition. Almost like meeting an old friend you forgot you once knew. There is a pull, a quiet certainty. It’s not a matter of deciding, it’s more like realizing.This is the one that already belonged to me.

I would tell them not to read it with their mind, but with their body. Stand in front of it. Let it be quiet. Notice what stirs, what memories or feelings rise uninvited. Souls is not about understanding, but about remembering what you already carry within yourself.

I discovered how much I, too, live in fragments,how much I had hidden in silence. Through creating these works, I came face to face with my own shadows and realized they are not something to be feared, but to be embraced. In giving form to these 50 souls, I also learned to accept more fully my own.
