A Beautiful Mess is one of my most personal pieces. It is a visual expression of my internal world: chaotic, layered, but with beauty threaded throughout. I created this work during a time when I was trying to loosen my grip on expectations and allow the painting to lead. Letting go wasn’t easy; I constantly had to stop myself from overworking it, but that tension is part of the story held in every layer.

To me, this piece feels like navigating a narrative - my narrative - one that’s imperfect, dynamic, and wonderfully human.
