I am a scientist, devoted to studying the creatures that have long mesmerized me—birds and bats, beings of mystery. Years ago, I immersed myself in the world of photography and the performing arts, honing these crafts as another form of exploration. Along this journey, I discovered self-portraiture as a profound means of self-expression—a way to retreat into my own world, a sanctuary where I can reflect and create. Through this intimate art form, I reveal the nuances of my inner universe, inviting others to see the world through my eyes, and to experience the quiet, personal dialogue between nature and self.
