You’ve contributed a piece to Veil of Deep: What would you like to share with the visitors about it?
This piece “Echoes” invites you to explore the space between the visible and the invisible, where form and mist converge. It’s a reflection on the quiet depth that lies between what we see.
What compels you to explore the depths of your inner self?
The silence of the mist calls me inward, to explore the undefined, to find meaning in what is formless and blurred.
What do you see and feel within those depths?
I feel the thin boundary between humanity and nature, a solitude that is both harmonious and isolating.
How do you express and transform what you discover inside into the external world?
By creating visuals where solidity—like the rock—fades into mist, dissolving the boundaries between form and formlessness.
How does your immediate environment and others around you respond to this process of transformation?
Some see only emptiness, while others glimpse the shadow and recognize their own journey in the ambiguity.
What does it mean to be human?
To exist between permanence and transience, to wander through the mist without clarity yet seeking meaning all the same.
What is your most recent inner reflection and the related internal process you’ve experienced?
I’ve reflected on how identity dissolves in life’s fog—the realization that clarity is often an illusion and embracing the blur reveals more.
How closely does the version of yourself that you project to the outside world align with your inner self, and why is that the case?
The shadow in the mist is a projection—partial and intangible. The world sees fragments of me, while the true essence, like the mist, is ever-shifting, hiding, and revealing in cycles.
