Charcoal on paper

The ‘unfinished puzzle’ in my body of work expresses the persistent feeling of being out of place. My work is a representation of the coexistence of cultures, memories and experiences that build the identity of an individual. The pieces forming an individual can often be found in others, most significantly in their family.
