Relational aesthetics gave me permission to value emotion, intimacy, and shared experience as core elements of practice—even when the work appears minimal.

Stellmach’s work reframes art as an act of emotional release, not just representation. It strengthens my belief that tattooing can be ritual, reflection, and reconstruction—all inscribed through mark-making that is both physical and psychic.
