Sometimes I think home is less about where we are and more about the moments when we remember ourselves clearly.

What makes you feel at home—in your spirit, your body, and the world around you?
Is it a sensory experience, or an emotional one? A physical exhale, or only a nostalgic sentiment?  

Can a single glance carry you there?

What if home wasn’t a place, but a feeling you could return to? And how can we conjure it—on demand?


 

The Influence of Art

I’ve started calling my evolving art style Influencism—a name that reflects my interest in how art can shift the feeling of a space, not just visually but emotionally and energetically. It’s similar to how lighting a candle can soften a room or stir a memory. I’m drawn to the idea that a sculpture or painting could carry that same kind of presence—that it could change the room it’s in just by existing there.

To explore that, I’ve been working with narrative, flame, glass, mirrors, and found objects—materials that reflect, flicker, and move. These choices are intentional. I’m creating pieces that do more than sit still—they respond to light, invite attention, and sometimes even surprise you. In a world that’s always moving fast and craving attention, the works in my SAVED collection ask a different  question
