Stay
Stay is a personal and introspective exploration of presence and mindfulness through my art practice. This experimental project is a multi-faceted journey that tells a story through various mediums, of fighting fears and overcoming challenges to find a sense of belonging and connection after moving to a new country. Through my art, I delve into the complexities of being present and learning to embrace vulnerability, as well as the power of creativity in helping us navigate change and uncertainty

By staying present and finding a sense of belonging in the moment, this artwork showcases how our experiences can be transformed.
