Artist statement

In the overlooked corners of the city lie the remnants of forgotten childhoods- broken dolls, discarded toys, faces marked by cracks. These objects are more than what they appear; they are silent witnesses to neglect, displacement, and loss. Left Behind explores this quiet erosion of childhood, not just as a personal memory, but as a commentary on how society gradually abandons tenderness and care. Once symbols of love and innocence, these items now sit alone-unnoticed and unmourned. Through this series, I aim to preserve the fragile, fading memories of our collective past—those that are easily ignored, yet deeply human.
