Through my work I’m exploring the contradictions, the dualities that lie hidden under the surface.

 

I use easily recognizable signs, symbols and forms and juxtapose them in a dichotomous manner to raise these questions.

 

How the surface and form are treated play an important role in this investigation. Cutting the surface and form is not just a physical manifestation of the urge to look beyond but also a means to subvert the sign, symbol or form.

 

This surface manipulation creates an optical illusion by making only part of the image visible from a particular angle. Thus challenging the way we see things and events in our world.
