People generally exist in their mundane states with only a fraction of themselves. This is an image, a shell. Some, however, crack this shell, discovering the potential within. This primarily leads to self-reflection, awareness, and transformation. Then, they create a space that offers a collective expression of these latent experiences, allowing other people to meet.
My practice presents the visual manifestations of working with what emerges from this cracked space. I engage in a dialogue about a multi-layered existence, with my own dimensions and the shared spaces of the psyche that these dimensions open up. Where linguistic and linear expression falls short, I resort to the unique language of automatic image-making. I construct this language as part of the process of cracking the shell. Here, the rules are rewritten; first comes next, feeling takes over thought, inspiration takes over assumption, the unknown takes over the known.
The interconnected forms I use, with their indistinguishable beginnings and endings, reflect the continuity of existence. In this continuity, every effect follows its cause, and every cause follows the previous effect in an inseparable chain. The depictions showing frequency effects express the infinite interconnectedness and intermingling of everything. The bending and twisting figures and backgrounds represent the flexibility of everything, including physics. With these depictions, I connect with the viewer not by making them think, but by making them feel, by providing an experience, by bringing clarity, not confusion; by offering solutions, not prompting questions.
I want to touch upon the hidden layers of the human experience from a unique yet familiar perspective. Unique because it only describes the paths I walk within the psyche, its peaks, its valleys, its limitations and freedoms, its terror and its sanctification. Familiar because, after all, it is the path of creation.
