About the Researcher
I am an emerging art researcher with a keen interest in folklore, traditional visual cultures, indigenous artistic practices, and the ways cultural narratives are preserved through art. My research explores the relationship between artistic expression, oral traditions, mythology, community memory, and cultural identity.
Through interdisciplinary research, I seek to understand how traditional art forms evolve across generations while retaining their historical and cultural significance. I am particularly interested in documenting and interpreting folk art as a living form of knowledge that connects the past with contemporary society.
My work combines curiosity, cultural research, visual observation, and creative expression, with the aim of contributing to the preservation, understanding, and appreciation of diverse artistic traditions.
