Rose: Unfixed
The rose has never held a single meaning. It has symbolized love, power, secrecy, rebellion — each era reshaping it to reflect its own desires. Identity functions the same way. It shifts across time, culture, and perception. What is assigned to us is never fixed. Interpretation evolves. Use evolves. Value…
Adornments of Adulthood
Adornments of Adulthood examines the quiet accumulations of adult life—responsibilities, memories, expectations, and compromises that settle upon us over time. What appears as ornament gradually reveals itself as residue, burden, and transformation. The surface becomes a landscape of experiences that both conceal and define the self.
Knowing the World
This work explores how a golden, imaginative mind can gradually become mechanical through lived experience.

The Right Career
Choosing the “right career” is something everyone talks about, and often it is something imposed on us. When I was a child, my mother never really asked me what I wanted to become, but my father wanted me to become the Head of Police because I never liked injustice. I…
Conditional Love
If I have ever loved someone, I have loved them with all my heart — through every high and every low. But I often wonder, did they ever love me the same way? This question has followed me since childhood. Why do we obey or respect people who disrespect us…
