Artist Statement: “The title of this exhibit, Tales of the Future, references a 1950s comic series whose now-dated depictions of the future appear humorous. This project, however, engages with the subject of mortality as an inevitable aspect of the future.

Reaching the age at which my sister passed away from cancer served as the impetus for this project, presenting both a personal and broader societal reflection on life’s fleeting nature. Following the tenets of palliative care, the project emphasizes that confronting mortality can, conversely, help us better appreciate the time we have.”

Mirror Addict

April 13–May 24, 2026 // Upfront Gallery

Artist Statement: “In Mirror Addict, I explore the tension between self-perception and digital identity through glitch-inspired painting and video self-portraiture. This exhibition investigates the psychological and emotional dissonance of attempting to embody an idealized self—one that exists both in the physical world and as a fragmented digital persona.”
