Mixed Media on Bedsheet

This piece is a snapshot of my teenage years—painted directly onto a bedsheet in my bedroom, which I had turned into an art studio. I was always chasing new ways to express myself, and unconventional materials felt true to that spirit. New Year’s Eve 2007 captures the restless energy and hope that come with transition and new beginnings.

Alongside this painting, I wrote a film script called “Autumn.” For me, visual art and storytelling have always gone hand-in-hand. This work is one early example of how those worlds started to intertwine in my creative process.
