Art+Film Archive

This curated archive presents my illustration and sculpture work spanning more than two decades. Executed exclusively in traditional media—ink on paper, oil paint, clay, and found objects—it encompasses surreal reinterpretations of Alice in Wonderland, explorations of feminine sensuality, conceptual investigations of atomic and life cycles, and a selection of sculptural works.
