Dare to Journey into the Unknown 2024

In my current artistic research project, "Dare to Journey into the Unknown," I explore hidden energies and cosmic influences with insatiable curiosity. Using techniques like solar system mapping, I challenge perceptions, stimulate communal growth, and question entrenched beliefs. My practice combines psychoanalysis, anthropology, and mental health exploration to create immersive worlds that transcend conventional boundaries. This fusion guides viewers on transformative journeys of healing and discovery. Beyond art, I aim to use its power to elevate collective consciousness and inspire personal growth.

Roots of Resonance: The Baobab Tree Project 2022-23

Roots of Resonance: The Baobab Tree Project delves into the profound connection between the baobab tree, cowhide, and the cultural significance of sound and vibration, drawing inspiration from the myth of Negarit. This historical myth highlights the fourth-century Abyssinians' use of drum-making as vital conduits for communication, community bonding, and spiritual expression.

These paintings capture the essence of the baobab tree and the transformative role of the drums in the community. The drums, often adorned with cowhide drumheads, transcend their role as mere instruments, becoming the very heartbeat of communities. They serve as essential tools for communication, celebration, and healing.
The project highlights the physical and symbolic properties of the power of sound.

The Fossil and The Ready-made 2016 - 18

"The Fossil and The Ready-made" is a body of work that playfully articulates the idea of Sisyphus and the afflictions of a ready-made, throw-away society. This series comprises complex emotions and movements addressing absence and memory, ignited by gestures and actions that lead to a visual and auditory break from the conventions associated with the marginalized self. The works vary from boxing and fighting invisible forces to rollerblading in the dark in a small room, each piece performing elements of absurdity and humour to question the endless cycle of humanity's seemingly futile actions. Through this playful yet poignant exploration, ""The Fossil and The Ready-made"" challenges viewers to reflect on the deeper implications of our repetitive, often senseless endeavors in a rapidly disposable world.
