This work was created with thoughts and experiences both good and bad that one tends to compartmentalize. The blank space creates the illusion that over time this space will be filled with more experiences and memories which people tend to box in. By creating the work it helped me to deal with things that were boxed and gave me the freedom to create something which I can revisit.

I create textured works which glimmer through different materials, that literally suck the viewer in for a closer look. The best thing for me is to see someone moving closer and closer to look at the surface. If my works do this, then I have fulfilled my mission.
