My journey has always been heavily orientated around physical and emotional abstractions , perceiving observations of both nature and urban environments in ways that distort reality and logic . Tinkering with the planar and sculptural has enabled me to express the transitional dynamic between contrasting abstract elements through different media and techniques , and convey their significance in our daily lives . I was able to materialise my concepts through the recurring development and practices of such techniques , which demonstrates the communication between myself and the medium as I engender a deeper understanding of its nature . As a result , this creational process has allowed me to find relationships between order and chaos , solid and void , and how the compositional imbalances and distortions challenge the perception and interpretation of the viewer . Being able to explore a common concept in a multitude of avenues regardless of the limitations presented by different media or techniques has allowed me to arouse a sense of freedom in a constricted environment . With the liberty of perspective being my main means of communicating ideas , my artworks and their significance are left for interpretation of the viewers , as is architecture and art .
