My practice investigates the process of how we as individuals encounter our external reality and how that results in the interchangement between both. The mysterious space where they reshape each other is where my painting resides.

William Kentridge said, “What one is doing in one’s own studio doesn’t sound like the same question as what is happening in the country but very often they are the same question.”

My painting practice deals with specific cultural conundrums that are constituted by the environment of my upbringing. The relationship between the macro (an experience involving the other) and micro (oneself), its nuance and complexity, is the underlying thread in my practice. What intrigues me most is the process of how the events that happen at the macro level translate into those at the micro; and how, then, the micro that was reshaped in turn reshapes the macro. This mysterious space of shaping and reshaping, of interchanging between the self and the other, is the anchor of my practice.
