The art of simply being. Dirty dishes, an open bottle of wine, and clothes scattered everywhere. It might seem odd to frame and display these qualities, which we often prefer not to acknowledge.

The rawest moments of everyday life are something I often try to recreate with the help of my beloved watercolor paints. Through the use of lighting, I give the subjects that nostalgic atmosphere we all know and hold dear. As a newly enrolled student, much of my inspiration comes from this relatively frugal yet identity-shaping phase of life—student life!

Thanks to the detailed style of my work, I can also sneak in one or more of my own interests into the scenes. Can you spot any of them?
