In this body of work, I aimed to push my artistic boundaries while avoiding repetition. Each piece can be presented both horizontally and vertically, inviting viewers to engage personally, creating a captivating dilemma - which orientation is better? This tension amplifies viewer engagement, prompting a dialogue about aesthetics and the subjective nature of beauty. My art fosters connection and exploration, sparking reflection on the beauty of choice in aesthetics.
