Description
I have always been marveled by our beautiful biosphere, a complex and synchronized life network where everything is interconnected and exquisitely woven. The aim of my art practice is to investigate how we exist within our life network and how we participate as interdependent elements of it. My work researches the tangible manifestation of the interconnectedness of our life network thru tools like light, color, monochromy, patterns, geometry, containment of space, and our own spatial sense of self. My motifs are everyday observations of our surroundings that support life: landscapes, stars, plants, the ocean, dusk and dawn, ocean current and clouds patterns, etc. My fundamental actions consist of containing, constructing, tracing, mapping, weaving, and embracing.
