The story behind the work
The Other Human No One Gets to See There is a version of you that the world knows, the one who is careful, polite, and reserved. But there is another version of you, the one who dreams loudly, who takes up space, who isn't afraid to be seen. You used to hide that person, thinking that's too much. Until you realized your alter ego wasn't someone else. It was the part of you, you have been afraid to become. So you need to stop hiding, the two versions can become one. Sometimes, the person we are searching for is the person we've been hiding all along.
Cultural inspiration
Drawn from African culture as it is lived. Everyday rooms, color, people, and the quiet pressure of the economy on a life.
Artist statement
I explore colour, details, shapes, patterns, people and everyday experiences.
Process
Through painting, mixed media and other creative forms, I explore colour, details, shapes, patterns, people and everyday experiences, transforming them into works that communicate emotion, identity, culture and perspective.
