Lost

**Lost** is an ongoing series exploring the moments when our sense of self, belonging, intimacy and reality becomes uncertain. Drawing from personal experiences of living between places, relationships and languages, I translate emotional and bodily experiences into surreal visual metaphors. Insects, wounds, fruit, veils and everyday objects recur throughout the works: ants gather around sweetness, butterflies search for home, flies are drawn to ripeness and decay, while spiders weave fragile networks of communication. Delicate fabrics conceal traces of discomfort, creating a tension between beauty and vulnerability. Through these quiet, dreamlike scenes, *Lost* reflects on the distance between ourselves and the things we try to reach—home, another person, a shared language, or simply a clearer understanding of who we are.
