Fragments of Life is a contemplative piece inspired by the serene, yet striking, presence of cows on a local farm. Often seen resting near the road, these animals exude a sense of quiet dignity and grace.
Through this painting, I intended to explore themes of detachment in the relationship between animals with humans. The painting reflects the way animals are often reduced to mere fragments of their true being in the context of industrial farming. The work encourages viewers to reflect on the fragmented bond between humans and the animals we share our world with, inviting a deeper understanding.

My work begins with memory and lived experience, filtered through shifting psychological narratives. I embrace the unpredictability of life, using chaos and form as raw material for compositions that reflect the hidden structures, both personal and societal, that shape who we are and how we see the world.
"I paint at the edge of chaos and form, searching for the hidden structures of the self."
