Ticket Around The World
Ticket Around the World is inspired by a five-month journey through Southeast Asia during my childhood. The series captures the contrasts that continue to shape my memories - the quiet temple walls worn smooth by time, bustling cities alive with movement, and chaotic night markets filled with color, sound, and energy. Layered with collage, marks, and fragments of language, these paintings explore travel, memory, and the lasting impression of places that stay with us long after we leave.
