Beyond the Pages, 2025

This piece invites viewers into a world where curiosity is the key and perseverance uncovers treasure. Embedded within an altered book, intricate pen drawings reveal a man mining his way into an unknown realm. He discovers a hidden library—a sanctuary of knowledge—and a cracked door with a glint of gold foil shining through. 

The magnifying glass, hanging from the ribbon bookmark, beckons the viewer to examine not just the art but the metaphors within. The sliver of gold suggests that wisdom, like gold, requires effort and courage to unveil. How far will you journey to uncover your own hidden library?
