Ripened By Life, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 39.5 x 31.5 inches
Ripened by Life symbolizes the unspoken pull of social roles, emotional fatigue, and the absurd rituals of daily survival. Painted in acrylic, the piece renders wrinkles and folds as records of time and tension. My goal is to create a surreal yet intimate moment where playfulness and discomfort coexist—and to provoke reflection on the invisible forces and quiet borders that shape how we age, adapt, and eventually, ripen.
