Having a constant thirst for learning new cultures, I constantly submerge myself in diverse social behaviours of the cultures I am in and attempt to turn the everyday happenings in my life into visual expressions. 

My most recent work consists of deconstructing and reconstructing the bridges between my photography and my painting. I have found great enjoyment in exploiting the concept of intervention between the two. That is: breaking, mixing and re-composing my photography and painting. This interdisciplinary, mixed-media work has become my most exhilarating exercise, where I gather a verity documentation through my lens and then paint to invent or supplement my own envisioned narration. It has become a way to fill the gap I perceive between a moment of reality and the photographic image of it, and the subtlety of the experience that is hard to capture through photography alone. It is a hybrid of what was and what could have been. It is an interplay between a hard reality and an ephemeral fantasy- between what has been captured in a shot and what has been left outside the frame.
