"Not the Moth nor Butterfly" is a mixed media abstract artwork on black paper inspired by William Blake's poem "Auguries of Innocence," where he urges, "Kill not the moth nor butterfly. For the last judgment draws nigh." This poignant quote serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all life forms and the impending reckoning that awaits those who disrupt the delicate balance of existence.

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.
