My current body of artwork consists of a series of monochromatic pencil drawings and small sculptures loosely inspired by Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Many of the novel's themes-the creative drive, servitude, the essence of transformation, the complexities of personal identity, and the fragility of memory-prompted me to translate these ideas into drawings and objects.

Developing this project has motivated me to consider the inherent nature and purpose of human creativity. Does a creator bear any responsibility for their creation? How does memory intertwine with the creative process? In what ways can knowledge be misused or abused? What does it mean to be free? Through an ongoing exploration of this evolving work, I hope to gain greater insight into these complex questions.
