Throughout my artistic practice, I have always held a deep love for urban architecture and spaces. To me, a building is not just a cold, lifeless structure, but is instead a physical embodiment of life, memory and history. In my artworks, I seek to deconstruct the notion of time, memory and emotion through the lens of our built environment. Simultaneously, my paintings are also an observation of the harmonious, conflicting and interdependent relationship between different objects in my physical surroundings, as well as my personal relationship and feelings towards them.

In our current pluralistic society, where cultures and traditions are constantly undergoing a state of change, progress and evolution, it has become increasingly difficult for an individual to feel a strong sense of personal identity and belonging in this world. More than ever, it is important for us to look inwards and to find our sense of self amidst all of the chaos. By pushing me to consistently engage in a process of self-dialogue and reconciliation, art has allowed me to better understand myself and my relationship with the world. In the same vein, I hope that my artworks will inspire viewers to look both outwards at their surroundings and inwards at themselves.
