"My works explore the concepts of 'clothing,' 'the human body,' and 'the home' as integral structures that embody 'the wrapping principle.' This principle encompasses the diverse methods through which the living body is adorned, concealed, and cocooned. My artistic endeavors involve deconstructing and reassembling the narratives of clothing through the utilization of sketching and painting techniques."
