Artist Statement
Each wall has its history, time, light, and dust. Since 2016 I have lived in Brooklyn, far away from hometown, walls offer me a space of reverie and relief. I envision the ambiguity and richness of the surface after looking at walls for hours. The relationship between walls and lighting creates the environments in which we inhabit, shaping our emotional well-being. My work offers my reflection on walls and their emotional undertones. It turns what I see and experience in the moment into poetic forms. I begin by photographing indoor space and then transfer the image onto a sculptural surface. Through my process, the image becomes a flat object with the sense of dimension, depth, and perspective of how it was being observed in the actual place. The various textures I employ create a new sensory surface, blurring the sense of touch, proximity, and the experience of light and warmth.
