AUDIENCE PRIZE
▶︎ JAZZ
“The concept for JAZZ comes from my obsession with the junction of improvisation and structure in creative output. Matisse’s Jazz series has always captivated me especially for its simplicity and boldness, where vibrant colors and abstract forms combine in a way that feels both planned and easy. Jazz music’s improvisational quality reflects this harmony, and I find it to be a metaphor for the creative process itself: a dance between form and free expression.”
