This series explores the tension between luck, control, and perception through lottery scratch-off tickets as both subject and medium. Inspired by my experience with dyslexia, the work reflects the struggle to find meaning in symbols and patterns, with text dissolving into abstraction while numbers remain legible. Themes of gambling, addiction, and hope emerge through a process that mirrors the act of scratching, a fleeting moment of chaos and possibility.

This series of sketches reimagines Greek and Roman figures using the bold, emotional style of German woodblock prints, drawn with a Japanese calligraphy brush pen instead of carved wood. It’s a mix of old stories and bold techniques, blending different cultures and art histories into something that feels both ancient and alive.
