My practice emerges from a confrontation with nihilistic thought and the existential tension between individuality and collective existence. In response, my works examine the intersections of identity, absurdism, mental health, spectatorship, and social psychology, tracing how these concepts shape our perception of being. This exploration manifests across diverse media, including painting, video, illustration, animation, and installation.

Statement:
tweening refers to generating the in betweens of keyframes, essential for fluid transition from each keypose to the other. This ensures that the animation is not jerky or robotic. Some common frame rates are 24, 30 and 60 fps, meaning that in every second of animation, that is the number of frames there are, thus Frame Per Second.

the special appreciation i might hold for the in betweens of my passing connects my focus to the now, away from the past, the future, or in my phone or head. it’s crazy how i can enjoy a comforting isolation in a crowded train just by being observant. even crazier that i can extract it’s subjects to call mine, bending at my every will, with just some lead or ink.
