The artist likens life to an hourglass, and the countless grains of sand in it to the various people we encounter in life. She observes people's gestures as if taking out a grain of sand and looking into it. By observing and drawing others, she discovers her own thoughts and emotions. She expresses ‘gestures of thought & emotion’ in various shapes and colors with acrylic paint. Once dry, she peels the paint off the flat surface and recreates it 3-dimensionally on canvas. She subtracts expressions instead of adding them, revealing the subject like writing poetry. Hoping that the viewer's gaze will linger and merge in with the space of the painting where calm and dynamic free gestures play.
