In these pages, I have presented the process of learning figurations, costumes, features, furniture, colors, and patterns. The works primarily use the medium of pencil, watercolor, and pen, and techniques of line work, dabbing and hatching. Most of these works are also an observational study of the objects and beings I see around me and in that viewing, I find a relationship that is at once distant and close, for once the pen or the brush makes a contact with the paper, I let the inner-personal self flow along with what I observe outside of me.

At the same time, I have played around with the fragmentation of different forms in order to understand what it would mean for me to eventually develop my craft as an artist. In all these works, I have used references and then tried to work with art for art's sake as a technique in order to slowly and gradually let experimentation take minute forms.
