the Art Journey
Explore the unique blend of art and sculpture.
My work is inspired by my social observations and personal perspectives.
The interactions in our personal and social experiences create distinct domains of our family, friends, school,
work, travel, religion, relationships, acquaintances, etc. Within these domains, we present multiple versions of
our ‘self’ because we choose what we hide or reveal depending on the social context and with whom we
interact.
What emerges is always an edited version of our true self. The art, along with the creative process explores and acknowledges the multiplicity in us
and the inevitable paradox of it. By juxtaposing contradicting and contrasting concepts, whether in form,
function or the material used, the work aims to instigate self-inquiry and create the personal narrative for oneself.
