Metamorphosis, 2024

Tall echoes, 2024

Undercurrent waves, 2024

My works captivated the narrative of displacement and transformation of the surroundings. The vertical pipes (Metamorphosis) reaching higher symbolize the industrial-built structures that dominate the landscape, representing the imposing influence of external forces on the country's development. The image echoes the dynamic and fluid nature of the urban transformation while conveying a sense of atmospheric change and the imposing shift in the landscape. Furthermore, the composition evokes a sense of urgency and the overwhelming presence of consequential alienation.

The vertical lines create a sense of upward motion, drawing the viewer's gaze upward and giving the impression of growth and ascension. This can evoke a feeling of progress and development as if the structure is striving for greater heights. The rhythmic quality of the lines adds a sense of lyrical movement, as the eye is led along their path, a feeling of flow and energy that captures the essence of vision. The contour lines produced by the metal pipes add depth and dimensionality to the artwork, providing a sense of three-dimensionality that brings the piece to life. The artwork flows upwards, a graceful and dynamic movement within the stillness of the structure.
