Once Upon a Time in a Land Far Away" is a delicate watercolor painting capturing a poignant moment in time before the upheaval of war and my family's journey to Canada. In this light, high-key composition, my mother's face gently fades into a soft, ethereal background, symbolizing a time of innocence and peace. The subtle blending of colors creates a dreamlike quality, evoking the nostalgia of a distant past and the beauty of a life before a significant change.

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."
