“Reconstruction of the Self” reflects a personal and artistic transformation through the act of fragmenting and recomposing. By intervening in a worn copy of _Dubliners_ by James Joyce, the work turns the gesture of breaking into a symbol of release—letting go of what no longer serves and opening space for new forms of being. The collage becomes a metaphor for life itself, where what is dismantled does not vanish but is reconfigured into a new whole, equally complete and meaningful.

Reconstruction of the Self

_Topography of a Dream_ explores the emotional landscape between memory and nature. I shaped the surface to echo hills and currents, using texture and color to evoke a dreamlike connection to place—both real and imagined. It’s a meditation on movement, softness, and inner terrain.
