“Love Me for Another Season”

Known as the "ghost of the mountains", this piece tells a story of resilience and vulnerability in equal measure through the lives of snow leopards. "Love Me for Another Season" shows a moment of trust and love in an otherwise solitary life, and there's something both comforting and melancholic about it.

As an artist, I spend considerable hours in solitude with my thoughts that manifests in stories I wanted to share. Snow leopards, expresses an understanding of duality—the coexistence of intimacy and isolation. Their elusive, rare tenderness reminds me that one cannot exist without the other, just as a completed artwork is composed of countless, delicate strokes.
