TITLE: Nude

Two years ago, I fell ill and stood at the threshold of life and death. Though surgery saved me, the prolonged period of fasting left my body frail and unrecognizable. Through grueling rehabilitation, I finally reclaimed my physical form—and in that process, I came to realize that this body exists only in this fleeting moment. This realization drove me to use my own body as a medium of expression through self-portraiture. Inspired by the movements of ballet, these works represent my personal journey: "Determination, Liberation, Expansion, and Acceptance." Finding new possibilities in the art of the Nude, I will continue to engrave the evidence of my existence through this form.
