My work explores the psychological forces that shape human behavior, particularly trauma, identity, and the hidden dynamics of power. I am interested in how personal fears and desires intersect with larger social and political structures. Drawing from mythology, psychology, and contemporary history, I often create stories where characters confront inner conflicts that mirror tensions in the world around them. Through genre and visual storytelling, I aim to explore how people construct meaning in moments of crisis, displacement, or transformation.
