Illustrations

This “Smiley series,” where I personify various objects and landscapes, may have started out as a silly outlet in drawing, but has now become a deeper and more precious subject matter.

When I imagine an inanimate object I see having a personality, the question always comes to mind:

“what if they are perfectly content with where they are, how they are made, and what they are made for?”

This thought process provokes me every time I draw a new scene, and leaves me pondering my own life:

“Can I be content in the same way?”

“Treasure Hunt” is a series I completed during my BFA degree. This was my way of exploring the value of a human soul and what that could mean: 

what it is, what it isn’t, and how it relates to other things we value in life.
