“Smile, They Told Her” hints at the tension between innocence and threat—a reminder of how we learn to protect ourselves in a predatory world.

Beneath the Surface explores the intertwined nature of plants and humans and touches on communication, resilience, and reciprocity. The artworks in this series invite us to consider how far we’ve drifted from our instinctive connection to the natural world—once rooted in balance, mutual care, and belonging.
