Email:
Raised as an Armenian immigrant in a deeply traditional household, I witnessed my parents' struggles for basic survival needs. Growing up, emotional and mental health were rarely addressed or prioritized. This disconnect during my formative years ignited a profound desire within me to seek understanding and meaningful connections with others. Through my artistic research, I embark on a continuous journey to bridge these gaps and connect with fellow humans on deeper levels.
