Human faces, their expressions – it’s something I’ve always returned to. They carry a personal strength, integrity, vulnerability, and willpower. In this context, they connect deeply to nature. Here, I express a profound sense of being one with nature, a part of it – to be nature. To me, the division feels artificial: the dualism, the idea that we humans exist apart from everything else around us. Out there is "nature," while in here, within me, is "me" – as though we are separate. But we are not. This gallery consists of artworks where I’ve used watercolor painting, blending them with photographs of nature – stone and water, moss and bark – and continued the journey into digital painting and processing. My personal perspective on different cultures stems from my upbringing, where inspiration came from a friend from America with roots in Native American culture. It made a deep impression on me, and I spent a lot of time immersing myself in and living through that history. I expressed this through drawing and writing.
