As a contemporary artist, I often feel like an archeologist of the modern day. The Civilization that I’m interested in is that of our immediate past. My work tries to show the forgotten and unnoticeable places in our world. I document structures and objects that are abandoned and obsolete. I show this by using oil paint, ink, pencil and photography. My art explores the nature of change, the passage of time, and questions why we discard things that we had previously found useful. The subjects I work with teach me about the challenges of growing up in a fast-changing society and world. I am keenly interested in uncovering the forgotten places and things that can bring back our collective memories before they get erased forever by digital technologies beyond our control.
