Artist Statement 

My work explores architectural space, colour theory, memory, and translation through the lens of duality both visually and conceptually. A duality that exists within a body, does not necessarily exist as a pair of oppositions. The pair can also be complementary to each other, or live at the same time as coexistence. Being bilingual and living-in-between, translation is a process that I frequently engage with. Through subtractive simplification, my works are my attempt to discuss the notions of consensus and reconciliation. They transcend flat images or physical space and objects, and document introspective moments.
