Focus, 2022
Coloured pencils on paper | Unframed: 29.7 x 42 cm
‘Drawn with coloured pencils on paper, Focus is a self-portrait. While there is a sense of chaos and disorientation conveyed through the vibrant colours and various fragmented layers of faces, the expression is transparent, losing ‘focus’ and drifting elsewhere in a moment of a daydream.’
