I AM THE SUN, 2024 Oil on canvas, 30 x 40 cm

I AM THE SUN embodies light, confidence, and the warmth of community. Through this piece, I explore the universal desire to be seen, acknowledged, and celebrated.

Based on a photograph I took of my uncle, the subject’s proud and grounded presence reflects a deeper narrative of self-assurance and cultural pride. The work becomes a tribute to identity—both personal and collective.
