As visual artist, I am interested in such themes as migration, uprooting, identity, impermanence and the values we share and/or differ as a society. The consequences of migration and displacement at an early age are the single most determining events that have shaped my identity and compelled me to become an artist. I use the visual arts as a vehicle to stimulate ideas, provoke thought. My works are points of departure, rather than destinations.
I think artist are a type of transmission belt within society, a particular type of sociologist or historian. As an artist, the events and experiences that play out during my lifetime manifest themselves in my creations. Although these are universal experiences the forms or visual languages I use are very personal and the finished product emerges from living life itself. I hope that the viewer will become engaged in the work bringing to it their own experience, history and associations.
