Description:
Created during (2006 - 2020), more towards the middle of this period, which I call Mid-Chapter 1. As my artistic exploration deepened into themes of introspection, subconscious thought, and emotional storytelling, this piece became part of that journey—capturing the way we process, reflect, and connect.
A step-by-step guide of how we process our lives, how we move thought and emotions forward.
Listening to one’s self is key before you can understand the universe. Ultimately leading to a healthier world of understanding.
The realisation that we are all going through the same processes will bring us together.
Layered with words, symbols, and colour, this artwork invites the viewer to pause and reflect. Each mark and brushstroke carries meaning, creating a rhythm of introspection and discovery. The black lines move like clouds of confusion, reflecting our own complexities and anxieties—contrasted by the beauty of humanness in the form of flowers and colour. The golden hues bring warmth and hope, while the cooler tones offer space for contemplation. The text, woven throughout, is not just to be read but to be felt—an open conversation between the piece and the viewer.
At its core, this work is about connection. The more we recognise our shared experiences, the closer we come to understanding each other.
