"Engaged Listener" is a mixed media artwork that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the act of listening. Composed of fabric, paper, and wood, this see-through abstract piece embodies the experience of soaking in another person's words. Through integrating layers of different media and transparency, the artwork portrays the essence of being fully present and attentive, encouraging viewers to embrace the richness of genuine communication, when instead of thinking ahead, we take a moment to pause and truly listen.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
