kept under her wing

My 2023 series Kept Under Her Wing is a continuation of my obsession with objects and images within objects and images, beginning from childhood fascinations with matryoshka dolls and The Third Policeman. The inner child and wise guide, two figures that sprang to my mind during my first experience with hypnotherapy, become more and more intertwined with the literal self, as they journey back and forth between observed and imagined lands. Through this recursive world, I interrogate the intersection between personal growth, artmaking, and the meaning of self. Another central question within this body of work is whether imagination can be just as real, or perhaps even more real, than so-called reality.
