My works respond to and re-imagine
questions of belonging and becoming
by transforming pre-existing imagery, objects,
literature
and
everyday rituals into
symbolic shells that accommodate experience and identity shaped by migration and
cultural hybridization.
The interplay between material, imagery,
and narrative is
central to my practice. I employ material with symbolic power to hijack and reanimate
imagery which resonates intensely with experiences of dislocation and identity shifting. At
the same time, narrative
- whether embedded
within the imagery itself or borrowed from external sources – informs and guides the process
of hijacking and reanimation. These three
elements engage in a dynamic exchange, simultaneously contesting and opening up
to one another, resulting in hybrid projects in between painting, photography,
and installation.
