Medusas Lullaby artist statement 2025

My practice emerged from forces I once considered two polarities: Medusa, the severing of past damage, and Lullaby, the soft return to safety. As my practice evolved, it led me to the middle way - the bittersweet symphony, where grief transforms through tenderness, and even pain is met with grace.

My work invites viewers into a sanctuary where pain is welcome, not to dwell in it, but to let it pass through, softened by colour, form, and care.

So Why Medusa? A little bit of lore…

Medusa in my practice is inspired by Turritopsis dohrnii, the so-called immortal jellyfish. For me, it symbolses the quiet, continuous process of rebirth - changing deeply, yet staying true to the core self.

Transformation is not always visible. It often unfolds in silence, like something happening at the bottom of the sea. That depth - still, unseen, and self-sufficient - mirrors how personal evolution feels to me: solitary, slow, and sacred. You’re never quite sure if anyone can see you, but in that pressure and stillness, something real begins to shift.
