Exploring Light, Darkness, and Transformation Through Geometric Abstraction 

 

Geometric abstraction is the foundation of my work, a framework that allows me to explore the interplay of light and darkness through form. Each piece is a tapestry of “memories of migration,” intricately woven with inspirations from architecture, fashion, and quilting. My art speaks to the cyclical nature of creation.  Building, dismantling, and reconstructing, mirroring the rhythms of life.  

 

I approach the canvas with a deep curiosity for transformation. By cutting and mending, I shape compositions where overlapping forms subtly reveal traces of their origins, much like the lingering imprints of memory. This layering evokes a sense of time, movement, and renewal, capturing the fluid dance of change.  

 

While my process is conceptually deliberate, it thrives on spontaneity. The organic layering of shapes reflects an ever-evolving dialogue between structure and improvisation, inviting the viewer into a world where design and emotion coexist.  

 

Artistic Influences  

My practice is fueled by an eclectic blend of inspirations. From Julie Mehretu’s architectural markings and landforms, to the innovative designs of architect Bjarke Ingels, to the soul-stirring rhythm of John Coltrane’s music, each influence informs the rhythm, balance, and energy of my work.  

 

A Journey of Discovery 

Through every layer, every imprint, and every composition, I invite viewers to explore the stories embedded in the shapes and spaces I create. My work isn’t just a visual experience, it’s an emotional one. It’s about seeing, feeling, and connecting to the infinite possibilities of rebuilding and renewal.
