The study of neuroplasticity has shown that our brains can grow and change throughout our lives. This means, to some extent, we can reshape our experiences.

What we consume - whether it's news, media, or the energy of those around us - plays a powerful role in shaping how we think and feel. The input we allow into our minds can activate anxious or hopeful neural pathways, reinforcing patterns over time. Each interaction nudges our mental scale, strengthening the direction it leans.

My work explores the tension between those internal pathways - our challenges, dreams, and capacity to adapt. I often use vivid colors and imperfect forms as a counterbalance to the negativity and pressure for perfectionism that saturate modern life. I hope my work offers a sense of encouragement and helps spark the growth of more constructive, resilient neural connections.
