Paintings & Series

One thread runs through the work across series and mediums: identity as something layered, mirrored, and always becoming — explored through the body, migration, queerness, and belonging.
Whatever the material — gouache on black, coloured pencil, or mixed media finished in oil — the same black line and the same layered construction hold it together.
