My inspirations come from unexpected places seemingly unimportant conversations with friends, something glanced at for a moment or a forgotten memory. A bit of shared history, a phrase, or an image may trigger a chain of thoughts that lead me to the subject of my work. Through travel, I experience new cultures and gain different artistic perspective which are used as themes or visual language. Through direct and bold imagery, I create work with layers of meaning thus allowing for a multitude of interpretations. Inspired by the scenery of Ho Chi Minh City, I have created a flag book, from the photographs taken in Vietnam, showing ominous feeling of being surrounded by chaotic electric wires.
