TO VIEW MY PORTFOLIO... KEEP SCROLLING!
My portfolio reflects various media, including traditional forms and experimental materials. Some artworks express my journey and development through the different media I have explored. I believe that my stories can resonate with people through my art, even though they may interpret them differently. Additionally, my portfolio highlights my recent studies in creating designs centered around human needs and my comprehension of the fashion world through textiles and merchandising.
