As normally I do from an exploration of the human journey through time and space, shaped by life’s ever-changing circumstances. This is exemplified in the painting titled “The dreamer rides with the Cloud,” where the central theme narrates the essence of navigating life's transitions. The work reflects the duality of human experience—moving between the impossible and the possible, forward and backward, amidst the constant flux of emotions like joy, pain, and suffering. It contemplates the universal voyage of life, encompassing the ephemeral nature of memories, the inevitability of birth and death, and the profound layers of existence that accompany each step of our journey. Through this lens, my practice seeks to articulate the interconnectedness of human experience, encouraging reflection and connection. –Artist statement
