"Untitled Kitchen Series" examines the quiet rhythms of domestic space, where the repetition of everyday tasks gives way to a deeper reflection on self, time, and solitude. The kitchen, traditionally a site of care and communal exchange, is reimagined as a space of introspection and isolation, where presence lingers and absence is felt.

Through self-portraiture, I engage with the subtleties of light, shadow, and gesture, capturing the in-between moments that shape the flow of daily life. The contrast between routine and stillness reveals an underlying tension a sense of displacement, longing, and the weight of the ordinary.

This series considers how domestic environments shape identity, not only through function but through memory and emotion. By framing the mundane as something both intimate and estranged, I explore the quiet complexities embedded within everyday existence.
