My work delves into themes of childhood, memories, and nostalgia, capturing the longing for the most carefree, innocent, and irreproducible period of our lives. The ephemeral nature of childhood shapes my painting and printmaking techniques, enabling me to create ethereal and dreamlike atmospheres that reflect memories after multiple layers of removal. Drawing parallels between sentiments associated with home, idealized past, and childhood, my works portray a longing fostered by leaving home at the age of 17. The exploration of having multiple 'homes' while struggling to belong takes shape through double exposure imagery, blending home and abroad, past and present, and dream and everyday life. By abstracting childhood recollections in my recent work, I seek to recreate the past and evoke feelings of comfort and safety but also to warn about the deceptive nature of nostalgia - a very comforting while eerie and haunting. I wonder whether this profound nostalgia is rooted in a tangible place or an imagined homeland built of memory stains and glimpses. And how can one feel homesick for a phantom home - a place they have never been to? I invite viewers to traverse dreamscapes and folktales, which are just as unreliable as our individual or collective recollections.
