Each bottle represents an issue or trouble and the level of salt (representing the healing process) and ink (representing the darkness and struggle brought on by each issue) shows the progress being made at getting over each struggle.

I like to draw from internal struggles and places of darkness for my work. The art I make is a reflection of my personal journey through life. The process of experimentation with materials is also important for me as it is an investigation of both the materials and of the self.
