“Oblivion”, Acrylic on canvas, H24×W18 inches

$500

When walking alone at night, I move among objects and spaces that evoke feelings of loneliness. It could be a telephone booth covered in vines and moss, a rusty illegible street sign that is almost falling down, or a toy forgotten by someone in a park.

During these night walks, I capture the forsaken moments of these elements. Then I connect each of them by collaging and restructuring them into a psychological landscape.

Through this practice of putting different images together in an imaginative way, I am creating an environment in which one can feel spiritually connected to the world.
