Her works serve as a bridge, connecting people and inspiring empathy, inviting viewers to embark on a collective journey of self-discovery and shared human experience.

They offer a profound glimpse into the mental and emotional landscape of individuals grappling with chronic illness.

Through her art, she reminds us that art is a universal language that surpasses linguistic and geographical barriers.
