Emotions, our primary way of experiencing life, move us to act and bring us back to our memories, whether positive or negative. What stays with us most is not an action or an event, but the emotion associated with it. The characters in my work are always unique, just as our emotions are unique to each situation. Yet there are also recurring characters and defining emotions connected to particular people or things, shaping how we see ourselves and how others see us. Through my exploration of these themes, I seek to express them in form and colour.
