EXHIBITION

Triptych: SAME SUN

This triptych piece called ‘same sun’ draws attention to the universality of the sun and its indiscriminate nature and the irony of this in the context of a discriminatory world.

‘School where I went, now behind bars’: This image speaks to schooling and violence.

Beauty of my Home speaks to the tensious connection between diaspora, belonging, and ownership of one’s home.

Spiritual Limbo

Triptych: Oppressed in Silence

This triptych draws together different locations and contexts to represent themes of loneliness and mental health, and ties this to concepts of otherness and oppression.
