States of Becoming
A reflection on the quiet revelations that emerge through the process itself. This series is a thank-you to the journey—every detour, pause, and shift — for showing me that the answer was never at the end, but unfolding all along the way.

Cartography of Hope
(Mixed media with acrylic, oil pastel, and beads on canvas, 150×100 cm)
“Cartography of Hope” maps the subtle strength we carry — fragile but never absent.
It reflects the quiet act of continuing, where even cracks may sprout light. A ladder appears—not as escape, but as effort, reaching upward through uncertainty.
Stars, a paper plane, and gentle paths of light guide the way forward.
For those who still believe in quiet hope—and choose to keep walking.
That is Perfectly Fine

Honestly, growth hasn’t looked the way I thought it would. I used to think it’d feel like progress. Like becoming better. But a lot of it just felt… confusing. Heavy.
Some things fell apart.
Some things just stopped fitting.
Some parts didn’t go anywhere at all.
And for a while, I thought maybe I was doing it wrong.
But now I think… maybe that’s just what growth really looks like.
Not clean. Not pretty. Quite messy. But it leaves traces, layered, imperfect, honest.
It was Enough

Ever notice you keep landing in the same pain? Same loop—just in different clothes?
That was me too.
I didn’t even realize I was stuck. I kept calling it growth… but it was just survival. I hit a point where I couldn’t keep pretending. So I let it all fall apart. And honestly.. that moment was enough.
Enough to let it go.
Enough to start the new.
