I find abstraction to be a window into a person’s mind. What is the galaxy that exists internally that can be found in someone’s art? My people often find the need to be the best, to be excellent, to build a prison of perfection that leaves little room for nebulous visuals and meandering thoughts.

These represent a deviation into the abstract, a deviation from perfection, or even a recognizable form. They are unambitious, like me.

These collages were created from finger-painting samples made by my 4-year-old.

I cut them and glued them into formations that I envisioned throughout 2024.
