My current body of artwork consists of a series of monochromatic pencil drawings, ink wash paintings, and small sculptures loosely inspired by Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Many of the novel's themes-the creative drive, servitude, the concept of beauty, the essence of transformation, the intricacies of personal identity, and the profound influence of memory-personally compelled me to manifest these ideas into visual images and tangible objects.

Embarking on the Frankenstein series has prompted me to consider the inherent nature and purpose of human creativity. Does a creator bear any responsibility to their creation? How does memory intertwine with the creative process? In what ways can knowledge be misused or abused? Through an ongoing exploration of this evolving project, I endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of these difficult questions.
