The theme of concealment and hiding appears in various ways across several of my works. Often, a figure’s face is obscured, or—as in the case of the painting titled “Walled-up Window”—the inhabitant of the house has excluded themselves, hiding behind the bricks. In the work titled “View”, the viewer is placed in the role of a voyeur, yet this is the moment just before looking out. It captures the uncertainty of whether or not to pull back the curtain and face what lies beyond. Visually, there is a contradiction between the title and the subject matter: through the drawn curtain, only a blurred image emerges—metaphorically representing hopelessness, and the tension between hope and despair.

The work titled “View” has evolved into a smaller series.
