BLUE

In his book Chroma, artist Derek Jarman writes, "I wrote this book in the absence of time. If I have overlooked something you hold precious—write it in the margin." That sentiment resonates deeply. My practice exists in those margins, in the spaces between what is held and what is lost. In the margins, I have found kinship in a lineage of artists and thinkers who, like Jarman, understand that absence is not emptiness but space for new possibilities– Blue is my love letter to them.

Blue is my attempt to go beyond the constraints of the body, to accept that there is something incredibly mysterious and beautiful in the evasiveness of life. It seeks to interrogate the fragility of selfhood, reckoning with the shedding of past selves—what is lost, what remains, and what new forms emerge from the fracturing of one's identity. It explores transformation through radical vulnerability—using photography not as a means of preservation, but as a space for decreation, dissolution, and reinvention.
