Through my work, I strive to bring together the multifaceted aspects of life experience as ingredients for a fresh and exploratory worldview. I aim to present these phenomena in a visual language that is focused enough to address a specific theme, yet expansive enough to carry meaning across cultures, contexts, and personal histories. In essence, I see these works as contemporary visual sutras—objects of contemplation that encourage slow looking, reflection, and reinterpretation. Each element within an image serves as a seed planted upon viewing—one that integrates with the viewer’s sense of self, stimulating and provoking a broader mindset.
My current series, Of a Familiar Nature, examines the uneasy interplay between the organic and the constructed—the entanglement of natural systems and human-made environments. These digital artworks, which are entirely hand-drawn, merge symbolic and structural elements into layered compositions that evoke both biological growth and industrial design. Within these imagined spaces, branches tangle with scaffolding, blossoms emerge from geometric grids, and birds and insects occupy a world shaped by both instinct and infrastructure.
The series reflects on the ways we reshape the world around us—not as something separate from nature, but as an extension of it. A city is no less a part of the ecosystem than a forest, yet our interventions often come with unintended consequences. Of a Familiar Nature is less about presenting answers than holding space for contradiction and inquiry. Where does adaptation end and disruption begin? What does it mean to build in harmony versus dominance?
By combining meticulous hand-drawn detail with layered symbolism, these works invite the viewer into a space that is both familiar and strange. They ask for a slower kind of engagement—one that leaves room for multiple interpretations and emotional registers.
In a time of rapid transformation and environmental anxiety, this work seeks to explore the connections that persist beneath the surface: between human and habitat, between memory and invention, and between what we inherit and what we create.
