“My Relief works are indicative of geographical formations and mimic the contours of the earth’s surface. They explore the intricate dynamism of natural forces—wind, water, erosion—coupled with human intervention that have altered the planet’s surface over time. Moreover, they reflect the enduring imprints of our existence, the human form perpetually imbued within the Earth’s ever-changing fabric.

Through this series, I also sought to challenge the flatness inherent in traditional two-dimensional painting by infusing elements of sculpture, a new medium I began to explore in 2017. Shortly thereafter, I found myself at a creative impasse with traditional painting and methods, sensing a cyclical habit in my artistic process. It was through this realization that the Relief pieces emerged, marking a shift from past convention in an attempt to infuse a new visual language into my work.”
