My art practice has long focused on collage as a platform for visual storytelling, guided by a commitment to sustainability and the transformative potential of recycled materials—90% of this collection is created from second-hand sources. As a visual storyteller, I’ve often wrestled with the concept of abstract art—how can something without a story move us? This question became a catalyst for deeper exploration into the psychology of art, leading me to the concept of Exo-Psychology, the study of potential cognitions and motivations of extraterrestrial beings. Abstract art feels to me otherworldly—vast, alien, and limitless in its creative depths. This collection merges the boundless possibilities of Exo-Psychology with emotional cartography, a mapping technique that visually represents emotional experience, offering a vibrant journey across uncharted emotional and extraterrestrial landscapes while reflecting my dedication to sustainable art.
