In a hot summer night, a star vanishes into space leaving a faint trail of light. With a glimmer of enchantment in his eyes, a small boy wonders aloud, "I wish I was a shooting star!!" Shooting stars fascinate me. Deep wells of rituals and the void that appears in the midst of crowds I experienced growing up often intrigues me... The journey is subliminal and surreal manifestations of memories morphing into myth, body and the system.

My works narrate the stories in materials that access nature and where rituals thread the past to the present. The works communcate through an osmosis of an idea via body, memories, myths and metaphors. I am curious about contemporary events and incidents; realizing my limits, I let them permeate the body - with empathy seeping through consciousness as a medium - which would lead us to an insightful journey of our own being.

Perceptions, like looped films in a projector, transform the idea and let them resuscitate into transient existence. My works are about the notion of body, the body within a system within the system, in the absence or presence of it.
