About the artwork
In this series, my aim was to delve into the concept of paths not taken. Each choice we make sends us down a particular course, but what about the routes we didn't take? I wanted to explore these uncharted territories - the potential parallel universes and lives we might have crafted; the experiences and memories that could have been ours. Do these unrealised existences ever permeate our current reality? I wanted to evoke an atmosphere of surrealism, blurring the lines between time, reality and memory, thereby prompting a deeper reflection on our existential role in the universe and the intricate nature of our personal journeys.
