The Conspiration a la reine collection: These early drawings mark the beginning of my journey, a time when I was still uncertain of my direction but deeply driven to express something meaningful. Created as I was learning, they reflect my search for a visual language, blending my own reflection with elements of myth.

I chose pointillism in ballpoint pen on white paper as my primary medium, which allowed me to focus on detail, where each dot became a gesture, and allowed me to express an intricate, ornamental story.

I was inspired by the works of Aubrey Beardsley, Gustave Doré, and Arcimboldo, whose influence are evident in the dense patterns that emerge across the page. I'd sought to capture the complexity of human emotion, drawing from the myths of Greek tragedies and the personal turmoil I was experiencing. These sketches were the first whispers of a language that held the potential for something deeper in my quest to explain my truth
