THE COLLECTION OF
INTERTWINED NARRATIVES
2023/24
Intertwine
/ˌin(t)ərˈtwīn/
‘Intertwine’ is defined as two situations or ideas related/connected to each other and difficult to separate, capturing the essence of interconnectedness.
In the captivating dance of interconnectedness, 'Intertwine' unravels the closely linked situations and ideas that define the rich tapestry of our lives. In everyday life, we witness the enchanting dance of intertwined situations: curiosity intertwines with exploration, emotions interweave with experiences, and our personalities become entwined with social psychology, etc. This dynamic has inspired me as an artist, leading me to delve into the interconnected complexities. As an artist, within this collection, I seek to encapsulate nuanced connections, evoking a spectrum of emotions and revealing the intricate dance between figures, lights, and shadows, weaving a unique tale within the rich tapestry of our lives.
The 'Intertwined Narratives' collection captures these nuanced connections, inviting viewers to experience a spectrum of emotions—from wonder and amazement to passion and tranquility, chaos and order, dream and reality, harmony and discord, serenity and ecstasy, silence and vibration, and fragility and strength.
Join me on this artistic odyssey, where every figure in each artwork serves as a testament to the boundless intricacies of our shared human experience.
