“My artwork, populated with metaphors for strength and identity reclamation, symbolizes the human spirit’s resilience and capacity to overcome adversity. ‘The Charioteer’s Resurgence’ explores my recovery from trauma, depicting how I was once directed by external forces and lost from my path. Elements like birds for spiritual transition, numerology linking pivotal dates, and fallen feathers representing lost moments, intertwine in this narrative. Through regaining control of my life’s chariot, I navigate and reclaim resilience against the traumas that try to derail me.”
