We just wrapped up three intense, beautiful days of the graduation show and I’m still letting it all sink in.

This work is so close to my heart. It was shaped by something deeply personal: somewhere along this study, I lost my dad. That loss turned my world upside down.

I took a gap year to catch my breath, to grieve
and to find a way back to making.

When I returned, I had to reshape my creative process completely. Grief kept returning as a subject, I couldn’t ignore it. And slowly, I stopped trying to work around it because it felt most natural to lean in.

I wanted to finish my studies with something I could truly be proud of. And I am.

This installation carries my love, my grief, my care.
I wish I could show it to my dad in real life. But in a way, he was the starting point of it all. He gave me the strength and inspiration to make this.

I know he’s proud, of how pain turned into something collective, how it brought together all these stories.

Thank you to everyone who came by, who took the time to look, talk or feel. It meant more than I can put into words.
