FROM DUST TO BLOOM : Dubai

In the Transit series, the works initially appear to serve as highly precise, preservative images of a seemingly intact world. Gradually, they become more ambiguous; disturbances enter the image, forms begin to shift, and the distinction between an observed place and an imagined one becomes difficult to maintain.

Alongside these realistic paintings are works from the Sunset series, in which the same motifs become reduced, fragmented, and progressively dissolved. The kaleidoscope of diverse hues, scents, and rapid movements of an intact environment are disassembled into its constituent parts. The abstract image emerges from the realistic depiction, as visible reality gradually loses its fixed nature. This transient passage points towards what may already be disappearing; nature increasingly shaped, controlled, or damaged by human intervention. What initially appears as familiar reality transforms into an autonomous, nearly abstract visual world.
