An inquisitive child I was, drawing incessantly interior plans and black ink bush silhouettes of hills, attaching a poem to them. The diametric spaces and words captivated my imagination.

Through the lens of the self-portrait, my art and poetry navigates both the interior landscape of thought and emotion, and the exterior landscapes of nature, society, and history. In my poems, landscapes become metaphors for both growth and decay, while interiors and exteriors blur, challenging the boundaries between private space and the world beyond.

The landscapes I evoke are not always traditionally external, but at times can be internal too - landscapes of memory, longing, and loss. The experience of living through this shifting world becomes both absurd and deeply poignant.
