My artistic practice is rooted in close observation of everyday life, searching for moments of beauty and meaning. However, my relationship to observation is shaped by social anxiety, which often creates a distance between myself and others. When walking through the streets, I experience people through brief, passing glances.
This series of paintings emerges from those fleeting moments. Rather than depicting recognizable individuals, the works capture impressions formed in an instant—sometimes reduced to a palette of colors, sometimes to an indistinct sensation or emotional residue. The figures remain unresolved, suspended between presence and absence, perception and memory.
Through this body of work, I explore how anxiety alters ways of seeing and relating to others, transforming human encounters into fragments and suggestions. The paintings reflect a tension between the desire to connect and the instinct to withdraw, inviting viewers to engage with uncertainty, vulnerability, and the quiet intimacy of overlooked moments.
