Selected Works

"Wait"

Mixed Media

Wait captures the quiet realisation that childhood has already slipped away. A woman looks back over her shoulder, as if suddenly becoming aware of the time that has passed. Wait, is it already over? A moment of disbelief, a longing for something that can never quite be returned to, and the strange feeling of growing up before you even realise it. Through layers of texture and colour, the work reflects the complexity of memory and the passage of time. Structure paste creates depth and dimension, while acrylic paint, alcohol ink and soft pastels come together to build a layered, expressive surface. Wait is about that fleeting moment when you turn around, look back, and realise that a chapter of your life has already become a memory.

"Thoughts"

Mixed Media

Thoughts captures the feeling of a mind that never truly rests. A woman sits with her head resting on her knee, lost in her own thoughts. While her body is fully finished, her head remains incomplete, symbolizing the endless flow of thoughts that fill our minds. We reflect on the past, try to make sense of the present, and worry about a future that hasn't happened yet. Our thoughts are constantly forming, changing, and evolving, never truly reaching an end. The unfinished head represents this never-ending process. Because even when our bodies are at rest, our minds keep wandering.
