Echo
2022
‘Echo’ isn’t about a literal repetition of sound but signifies the lasting impact of memories. I sought to communicate the moods and the impressions left by individuals and locations in my memory. Each piece aimed to capture aspects of these moments, rendering them with a language that is a montage of abstraction and naturalism. The artworks are ambiguous, encouraging viewers to construct their own meanings.
