My endless fascination with the world we inhabit had led to my interest in pursuing a Masters in 'Art in Science'. During which I discovered a wonderful mix of anatomical and botanical images from various sources, often archived in museums and libraries. As a result of researching, collecting images and ideas that inspired me, I blend these narratives into my collages.

My collages are based on a lot of research and are cut by hand which are then arranged into several layers to create a new world of connections. These collages are like visual essays, where I try to understand what I learn and process through making. This process holds a space of alchemy, for me, it is where the magic happens.
