10 years ago i decided to make a conscious decision not to make ex- cuses for not producing art because i had lost my camera. Never miss a moment when i have a quality camera on my phone. This ongoing body of work is a collection memoirs of my travels and walks.

​

I am fascinated by wall and floor surfaces. I find them riddled with an- thropological and archaeological clues of hu//man’s existence. The work is an expression of my way of seeing. In my eyes urban decay is aesthet- ically pleasing and it is also a reflection of moral decay in the society we are living in.

​

I find beauty and hope in these surfaces that may seem grotesque to the naked eye, that have traces/elements of joy, pain, and neglect, chip- ping away at my soul. The painting, peeling, and chipping of textures, revealing many layers of truths and half truths.

​

The photographs are captured moments in time. In the mixed medium works the process of recreating the wall textures using plaster,grout,- thread, paper and glue feels like a healing pro- cess. And the scratching, chipping, plastering express my frustration and admiration at the human condition
