"Art is a conversation that can change the world"

Artist Statement

My work reflects my peculiar interest in the mind, emotions and consciousness of all things - the point where corporeal meets ethereal. And I explore these concepts through my work and my research in psychology, philosophy, and different schools of spirituality, which help me analyse and understand our psyche, behaviour, and motivations as a species and how art and design can be used as a trigger to generate beneficial change in ourselves and the world. 

 

Process, the act of making a ‘thing’, is scared in all my designs and Flow, the state of ideal creativity, is my driving force.
