My work revolves around my observation of my surrounding, personal memories, curiosity, moments of contemplation and connection. I have always indulged in the idea of a transition in my work. From the ambiguous landscape to the malleability of memories, my subjects are often in motion of finding comfort and solitude in their surroundings, while adjusting with the existing self.
I like working with the possibilities of questions, rather than answering them. My works are often portrayed in bright vivid colours, as a contrast to the emotional attachment of the subjects in my work. As they are borrowed from my personal experiences I revisited over and over again, it also blurs the line between the experience I observe and the experience I feel.
