We learn to recognise ourselves through the names, roles and expectations that gradually become part of our identity. Over time, the distinction between what we are and what we have learned to be becomes less certain.

REMAINS begins with this uncertainty.

The series considers identity not as something fixed or waiting to be uncovered, but as something continuously formed, altered and negotiated. What we call the self is never entirely separate from the world around us. Yet neither can it be fully explained by the roles we occupy.

Rather than attempting to reveal an essential or original self, these works remain within that tension — between what is imposed and what is chosen, what becomes visible and what resists definition.
