Provincial Sunset

This body of work is an ode to my cultural heritage and ancestral roots. The artworks convey the interactive relationship between sacred memories and reimagined landscapes.

Driven by concepts of searching for identity and connection, I’ve attempted to find contrast and harmony against Cambodia’s provincial countryside, rice fields and sky. The works evoke themes of home and belonging, as well as estrangement from land and family.

The artworks have emerged as gestural palettes and spontaneous brushstrokes which symbolises the evolution and progression of my creative practice. Through exploration with colour and subtle textures using glass beads, one senses a deep yearning to reconnect back to country and witness the glowing sunset hues.
