Over the years, my work has been rooted in the ideas of connection and interdependence, nurture and sustenance, microscosms and macrocosms.
Most recently, natural disasters across the world have fueled my interest in the idea of dispersion, the movement of light, color and particulate matter. The dispersion of ash, smoke, clouds, wind, water have had a global impact on multiple levels, transforming entire geographies, economies and communities.
On a more micro level, I have been exploring the themes of symbiosis and coexistence. While traveling in Iceland, I was fascinated by the complex networks of lichens growing close to the ground. Lichens are made up of multiple organisms that exist in a symbiotic relationship known as mutualism. Surviving in the most inhospitable environments, these organisms are dependent on each other for their survival.
I am intrigued by the evolution of plants and insects as they adapt to changes in the environment, and their ability to reproduce in multiples to ensure the continuation of the species. Seed pods are, in essence, designs for life sustaining and nurturing containers.
