I'm feeling adventurous


Weathering Heights
A mountain goat that walks its life on a ledge to lick the last crystals of salt on rock millenia of biological memory swarming in that single cell that craves for a reward, a chemical treat, an electrical impulse hoping they don't wander afar, in search of momentary bliss the higher and higher, the fall steeper it helps to not look down the taste of bliss lingering on the tip of its tongue treading the thin crack of stone it is not lonely up there, they slowly realize salt c

Milestones - Mozilla Festival 2025
At Mozfest. Self promotion is hard for an artist, talking about the work even harder. How lucky did I get when I got placed right next to a comfortable sofa at my installation space for Mozilla festival. I sat quietly and observed kids and adults walk past the installation. A pause, some intrigue and many questions. Some even came back to see the artwork again. Most didn't know I was the artist, and I stayed behind as I felt my explanation would kill the artwork. This was the

Dancing into the daylight

Second Skin
I was born in a home wrapped in flesh and blood nutrients oozing through its walls beating with the rhythm of my own heart I was brought up in a home with a hundred helping hands carrying me around in circles hugging and holding my tender body I lived in a home of dust and smoke soot layered in the walls and floor washed with water, oil and soap I left a home sunlight filtering through the ceiling creepers crawling across its walls with smells of wood and metal Homes grew aro
