I used charcoal and oil stick on paper to create studies about the fragility of emotional entanglement with visceral immediacy. Each piece becomes a somatic trace of the unconscious—a field where emotional tension is neither resolved nor released, but exposed in its raw, looping form. The forms appear as torn strands or sinews—tactile, trembling, never sealed—unfolding the psychoanalytic notion that the psyche is structured around what resists articulation.
Are these paintings painful? Yes, but not in the declarative sense. They are pain things—surfaces where psychic trauma and vulnerability materialize as unresolved shapes, half-recognized, and slipping into shadow.
In these tangles, there is tenderness: the vulnerability of being unable to untie oneself, and the quiet strength of enduring.
Band tightens as if caught (2025).

These small paintings are about my speculations of the baby as an archetypal symbol. I try to express in paint how I see this conceptual understanding.
A baby can signify the birth of hope and renewal as a fresh start also heralding a divine presence of significant change. A baby is vulnerable and fragile and as a metaphor suggests early stages of ideas, projects, and a new journey ahead. The symbol of a baby embodies growth and transformation as untapped possibilities await. Care, patience, and faith in the unknown is needed when one holds pure and unformed essence in one's hands.

These paintings are abstractions of the human brain. A neuron is the functional unit of the brain. Neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors are integral components of the brain's intricate communication systems. These networks play vital roles in regulating one's moods, cognitions, behaviours, and other physiological functions.
The balance and function of neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors are critical for maintaining optimal brain function and mental health. Understanding the complex interplay between neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors provides insights into the many networks operating in one's brain.
With these paintings I visualize the essential parts of the brain. How the brain makes mind is another landscape awaiting to explore in future paintings. The human mind is indeed THE area of human achievements, failures, possibilities, and diseases. How the human mind interacts within our culture, and vice versa, continues to intrigue me.
