    She comes to me at night…and takes me in her arms This work is very personal to me.  At the end of 2018, while living in New York City, I lost the sight in my right eye.  Along with my eyesight, I also lost my self-esteem and confidence. This lasted for a few months and finally, I went to the hospital.  The next day when I came home, I ended up lying powerlessly on the living room floor, crying uncontrollably.  I felt lonely, broken and abandoned.  Then, I imagined The Other Me, a benevolent apparition who began coming to me and hugging me.  That very day, I decided that I would create a piece for myself, alternately filled with poetry and beauty as well as pain. I started bringing home flowers and plants and they surrounded me during my long convalescence.  Then, I etched them into the metal, thus infusing them with eternal life. Because of the reflection of the metal, I let the the viewer enter my emotional space.
