Drawings About a Place that will never be...

Artist Statement
“I draw the chaotic and absurdity of here and there, until it becomes a place that will never be.”
My work began as reflection of my own experience of displacement, loss of identity and belonging. My drawings are my continuous personal exploration of the tension between displacement and the placement of oneself.
The drawings investigate time, location and space, and I have worked in many different contexts and on different surfaces to explore the idea of trying to recreate a home. Meanwhile my drawings portrait elements within the work that embodies the feelings and emotions that comes with the sense of displacement.
Emphasizing these themes, I exploit the lines and shapes by distorting, scattering and pushing perspective towards creating beautiful and intricate places and spaces that are filled with hidden stories and poetry.
