Thoughts & Prayers
This body of work represents many things combined and nothing at all. I visualize music, mutations of a spreading virus, or the jolting culture shock of being at Burning Man one week and Kuwait the next. My tenth-floor apartment in Kuwait is just mere meters from the minaret of a neighboring mosque. At first, the five daily adhans rattled me as they overlapped one another to create sonic collisions. Over time, I came to appreciate the layered discord from these reminders of gratitude and humility. Distraught by violence and vitriol on the news and social media, I desired an escape from political arguments and superficial platitudes – particularly those following mass shootings.
I sought to save my psychological and spiritual well-being through meditational drawing and hopefully transmit feelings of joy and bliss to others. I aim to discover harmony from chaotic asymmetry, rhythmic disruptions, and disparate influences. I blend and distort imagery inspired by an amalgamation of motifs such as stained glass, psychedelia, science, street art, and sacred geometry. These synesthesia-stimulated drawings depict the kaleidoscopic phantasmagoria of my semi-lucid subconscious and divine introspective explorations. Or, simply put, they originate from doodles I make when I'm in a meeting. These works are drawn with ink and colored pencils on acid-free archival cotton rag paper.
