"Mortal Mirage" delves into humanity’s deeply rooted longing to evade death and its often futile attempts to distract from its inevitability. This universal yet intensely personal confrontation with mortality lies at the heart of the collection. Through a blend of watercolor, oil, and colored pencil, the artist examines how individuals and societies seek solace in permanence amidst the transient.

By juxtaposing themes of decay and renewal, permanence and impermanence, the collection invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with life’s finite nature. Whether through abstraction or realism, each piece captures the fragile resilience of the human spirit in its quest for meaning. The work seeks to explore a fundamental question: What does our longing to evade death reveal about how we live?

Through this exploration, "Mortal Mirage" becomes a space for contemplation—where death is not merely an end but a reflection of the illusions we create to endure. It challenges viewers to confront mortality not as an adversary, but as a companion that sharpens the clarity of existence.
