We live in a multilingual world woven from migration, colonialism, and the intermingling of diverse communities. Multiculturalism is not a slogan but our everyday reality: it permeates language, food, labor, belief, and memory. For art to be honest, it must respond to this complexity.

​

I reject sentimental nostalgia as well as the flat mimicry of the global market. I advocate for an art that acknowledges difference, contradiction, and coexistence—an art that captures both the immediacy of lived experience and the weight of enduring meaning.

​

Reality is not a uniform image but a mosaic pieced together by different ethnicities, classes, genders, and histories. The task of the artist is not to embellish but to bear witness; not to evade but to reveal. We must uncover the textures of social life in the details of cities and villages, factories and streets, kitchens and homes, and through visual language, render them newly visible.

​

We believe that craft and concept must proceed hand in hand: line carries thought, form refracts social structures. Art is neither mere technique nor empty discourse, but the vital energy sparked in the tension between the two.

 

The world we see has never had a single center; we must embrace coexistence in difference. Only in such a recognition of complexity can art truly crystallize reality, converse with the present, and stand as witness to the future.
