The past is present
Drawing

My work depicts the contrasting aspects of a country rich in both cultural tradition and contemporary popular culture. While time is hauling us further away from the past, new histories are being made constantly in order to shape the present and the future ­­– it is a constant cycle. And with each layer of people, places and events that this world creates, the past leaves its mark on every page.
