The paintings are dehumanized translations of spaces within different places and a way to decode the cultural coding of an unfamiliar place as well as the familiar. The paintings are created both out of memory and through the help of the photographs and found images, while trying to create the theatricality of bare places through the light and composition. The subjective role of color evokes a state of mind and pulls us out of the ordinary way we see and perceive the world around us. There is a repeated use of the color blue throughout my paintings, which is symbolic of memory as while translating my memory into an image I am drawn towards using shades of blue.
