The relationship between image and desire, and between image and the body, is something I have turned and twisted within my practice. Over the years, I tested different methods, searching for a painterly language that can discuss the body without exclusively focusing on what it looks like, or whom it belongs to. I gather my reference materials from social media and digital advertising because I feel that such images trigger our physical sensations in an intrusive manner. My hope is to point out the pornographic gaze that our image-obsessed culture evokes, and bridge the distancing from our own bodies, which is created by this gaze.
