Statement : 

Exploring the boundaries of Portraiture through the ideas of pause, silence, and nothingness was vital to expand my creative practice. As a portrait artist, I developed the notion of comprehending my artwork as a way of recalling my models, since I feel indebted to them for allowing me to draw them.

The principal concern of my projects is the stigmatised people and the psychological distress caused by Stigma. After studying issues surrounding this stigma, I wanted to bring dignity to my models through portraiture. However, my work goes beyond the representation of the subject, as I consider this to be a transformative process. Drawing was a path of understanding my emotional engagement with the issue of an interior void and the figure being depicted. Consequently, Drawing can be understood as a dialogue with the self in which the figure is not merely a detached entity in a desolate ground: both are one, and they play the role of the other.
