My artistic journey is driven by the belief that art has the power to facilitate conversations that transcend societal boundaries and promote deeper introspection. While my art as a whole is multifaceted with an array of media, such as painting, mixed media, photography and more, its focus currently lies among the themes of my recent series, The Efflorescence of Greed. I invite viewers to confront the often uncomfortable reality of addiction and dependency that permeates our society, and how it is entwined with the pursuit of profit and wealth.

​

​    In a world shaped by the complexities of greed, The Efflorescence of Greed  aims to create a dialogue that explores the intricate relationship between the western economic system and the pervasiveness of drug use. Through my work, I aspire to question and challenge the perceptions, biases, and paradigms that have come to define our modern world.

​

    I seek to reveal the underlying human cost of these practices, giving a voice to those who have been marginalized, forgotten, or silenced by the western machine. My artwork also addresses the social stigma and moral judgments surrounding substance use and abuse, which are frequently perpetuated by the capitalist ideology that prizes individual responsibility and meritocracy. By challenging these narratives, I hope to encourage empathy, understanding, and compassion for those caught in the complex web of economic pressure and addiction.

​

    Through this exploration, I hope to spark a dialogue that questions the values and priorities of our society, and ultimately invite us to reimagine a world where human well-being is placed above profit. I aim to create a space for contemplation, conversation, and growth, ultimately inspiring viewers to become active participants in the conversation and catalysts for real change.
