Bittersweet Horizons


In my thesis, I explore the bittersweet nature of growth—a journey marked by the tension between holding on and letting go. Growth demands that we leave behind the comfort of the familiar and step into the uncertainty of the unknown. This transition often brings internal conflict, rooted in fear, nostalgia, and resistance to change. My work visualizes this emotional struggle, where the longing for stability clashes with the necessity of progress, portraying growth not as a sudden transformation, but as a gradual unfolding shaped by struggle, acceptance, and hope.
