Through my work, I depict the varied situations through which I’m passing. I show the different phases of others lives, as well as my own life. I work around the passage of time ‘before, during and after’ certain life events, as there is peace after every storm. These extreme contrasts and transitions are reflected in my prints. Through them I also try to catch specific life changing moments.
My current work is related to the misery of certain human beings all around the world, whose lives are affected by natural and man-made disasters. I have tried to show my sorrow and share their pain through my work.
