This debut series explores identity, emotion, and the invisible forces that shape us early in life. Through self-portraits of himself as an infant, Kai reflects on the quiet turmoil of separation, emotional pull, and the tension of being drawn in different directions.

Balancing raw intensity with moments of calm, the works reveal art as a place of grounding and refuge, a space where emotion is held, processed, and transformed. Honest and unapologetic, this collection captures the beginnings of selfhood and the power of creativity as a means of connection and resilience.
