"As I age, I fear that I will start forgetting important information or memories, so I find myself constantly taking notes and writing down things. Sometimes, these notes get lost, but other times, they inspire paintings. Lost and recycled personal writings—phrases, memories, and traditions written down with the intent to remember them—formed the starting point for this series of monochrome paintings resembling post-it notes. They are a profound exploration of personal and private narratives interwoven with layers of text and collage. In these paintings, the text is rich and visible yet not too obvious or even readable. It has been obscured, scraped, wiped out, deleted, and rewritten to imbue the artworks with a sense of intimacy and depth, disguising private information. The paintings evoke the hazy nature of memories and how particular recollections appear in our minds. Some paintings incorporate collage elements, such as stitches and bandages composed of discarded canvases and fabric. These serve as poignant memento mori, symbolising my previous life as a doctor but also reflecting the passage of time in general, remembrance and oblivion, and the transformative nature of my journey."
