I let colours seep and blend, shapes soften and fade, and lines break apart only to weave together again. It's like watching a memory unfold: imperfect, layered, with hints of what came before peeking through, sparking a conversation between what's lost, what's held onto, and what's newly imagined.
Memories are not fixed images; they shift, fade, and resurface over time. In my work, memory exists as a layered and fluid space, shaped as much by emotion as by experience. Rather than documenting the past, I explore how memories are carried, altered, and reimagined in the present.
My practice is informed by themes of migration, displacement, and resilience, where personal and collective memories intertwine. Through semi-abstract forms, I invite viewers into a quiet, reflective space where their own memories can surface. The works do not seek clarity or resolution; instead, they hold memory as a living presence — fragile, evolving, and continuously reshaped by time.
***This work consists of two separate parts on A4-sized paper. It is designed so that, if desired, the two parts can be displayed as two different artworks in individual frames. However, it will be delivered framed and presented as a single unified piece, as shown, or as two separate pieces upon request.
