Nezzenden

I am a mixed media artist working with time, material, and light. My process is slow and intentional. I build my pieces in stages—allowing materials to dry, react, crack, and settle before I return to them. I don’t force outcomes. I observe, wait, and respond. Each work becomes a collaboration between control and surrender, where structure meets unpredictability. I have always wanted to become a neurosurgeon. That desire shaped how I approach my art today. Precision, timing, and awareness matter deeply to me. I pay attention to when to begin, when to stop, and how each layer will behave over time. There is a quiet discipline in my process, even when the result appears imperfect. I am drawn to what others might overlook or discard. I often use unconventional and organic materials—such as coffee, fibers, mesh, and found elements—because I see beauty and potential in what is usually considered waste. Transforming these materials is part of how I tell stories about impermanence, fragility, and change. My work is inspired by the idea of wabi-sabi and the fleeting beauty of moments like komorebi—the way light filters through leaves and shifts constantly. I don’t try to preserve these moments forever, but rather to stretch them, to hold them just a little longer. Each piece is meant to live with its environment. Light and shadow are essential parts of the work, allowing it to change throughout the day. It is never fixed, never fully complete—only evolving. Through my art, I hope to create quiet spaces. Moments where someone can pause, breathe, and feel a sense of calm, even if only for a second.
