I often begin new work without any clear intention or purpose. I start by gathering reference material and draw frenetically, following my intuition and then suddenly - certain themes emerge. The power of phenomena, human emotion, and the universality of flora frequently appear in my work. I play with likeness and contradictions hoping to find connection. Over time, the images evolve and their meanings become clear. It becomes evident that they were never about the world itself, as it is, but rather about the forces at play inside my own psyche. In this process, I have discovered that the inside and the outside were never separate.
