In my latest collection, "Suburban Mutism," I embark on an artistic journey to delve into the profound unease linked with the quest for self-expression and autonomy within the confinements of suburban life. This body of work serves as a vivid exploration of the complex interplay between individual development and the overarching structures of society, particularly focusing on how the shadows of patriarchy and unresolved emotional wounds ripple through generations, shaping identities and relationships. My use of sharp textures and anatomically ambiguous forms poignantly articulates my personal battles with identity and presence, all while reflecting on the intricate dynamics of a family unit ensnared in the façade of suburban normalcy. Within the extensive collection of multimedia sketchbooks, I diligently maintain, which serve as a repository, my mind taps into this wealth of imagery as a vast database. This eclectic archive fuels the creative process, allowing for the exploration and integration of diverse visual elements into my artwork. My choice of painting materials is also diverse and layered as my thematic concerns, blending traditional mediums like oil paint with unconventional ones such as plaster, cement, caulking, and plywood. This diverse palette not only underscores the textural richness that characterizes my work but also mirrors the complexity of the suburban trauma I scrutinize—both historical and ongoing. Through this innovative amalgamation of materials, I invite the viewer into a reflective space to contemplate the intricacies of humanity and the textures of individual and collective experiences. At the core of my artistic philosophy lies a deep-seated desire to unearth truth and clarity amidst the chaos of memory and belief. Through my art, I aspire to transform the raw materials of personal and shared histories into expressions of positivity and enlightenment. This transformative process is not only a testament to my resilience and creativity but also a call to viewers to engage in their own journeys of reflection and discovery. My work, therefore, is not just an artistic endeavor but a philosophical quest, aiming to inspire others to seek understanding and to reimagine the narratives that shape our lives.
