My practice explores softness within urban environments through painting and drawing. I am interested in the overlooked details that appear while moving through the city—particularly plant life that persists in pavements, pots, and marginal spaces.

These botanical forms are often enlarged and reworked through drawing, shifting between observation and abstraction. I use repetition and scale as a way of staying with these encounters, allowing them to develop into sustained studies rather than fleeting impressions.

Alongside this focus on plant life, a single recurring object—the empty chair—appears throughout the work. Its presence interrupts the botanical field, introducing a human absence that sits in contrast to the surrounding growth.

I am interested in how softness and disruption can coexist within urban environments. The work reflects on how attention is shaped by the city’s pace and density, and how small forms—both organic and man-made—can hold traces of lived experience.
