The observer

The Observer #01, 2023. 40×60 cm, soft pastels, graphite and acrylics.

The observer works through intuition, through non-knowledge and the unknown—somewhat like a child would do.

In these series of drawings, I portray myself as the small child I might have been, observing a world that didn’t make sense to me. Feeling caught between different natures, landscapes, languages, families, and cultures.

Artist investigating the intersections of bodies, landscapes, belonging and lanuage. Drawing on Deleuze’s rhizome and Ingold’s ‘lines of correspondence,’ I explore (un)rooting, memory, and connection through photography, video, and drawing. My process begins with walking and observing, reflecting on how we internalize place and connection.
