journey.<\/p><p>Each piece captures the tension between fear and resilience, the fragility of the body, and the fierce desire to connect and be remembered.<\/p><p>Parallel to this, I began a series

in a world where I feared I might fade into oblivion.<\/p><p>My art became a dialogue with mortality, a way to process the terror of detachment, and a means to create meaning in the face of uncertainty.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2708 size-large\"
