This thesis explores the blurry space between memory and observation. It doesn’t document events or places as much as it lingers in the feelings left behind especially the ones that don’t belong to me. I’ve always felt like an observer, someone just outside the frame like a watcher. My works are drawn from that sense of quiet disconnection. They respond to small, overlooked parts of the everyday—fragments that reveal more than they intend to.

I carried the places and moments I absorbed, and yet, even in their presence, I felt distant. These works are not about nostalgia, but about what remains unsaid or unnoticed. They try to make visible the tension between presence and absence, between being part of the world and feeling apart from it.
