Through my work, I seek to create an element of surprise for viewers, prompting them to pause and reflect. I particularly enjoy creating images that appear different when viewed up close versus from a distance. This allows those who encounter the work regularly and up close to gain a unique perspective on it.
By exploring new technical avenues and blending different practices—from printmaking to papermaking and mural art, I aim to challenge people’s preconceptions and remind them that the world around us, too, can be different and can be transformed.
Artwork description
First of all, this work is a commentary on the way mural art interacts with the public. Located in a narrow alley, initially, this mural, rising two storeys, seems purely nebulous, of little interest. It doesn’t contain the usual mural tropes: hypersaturated colours, meticulous details or happy images. Instead, when viewed on a small screen, the image appears—someone tormented, blurry but recognizable.
