Interviewed by The Bulletin Magazine
“When I was in LA, I met a photographer who told me my art is a bit retro, a feeling of the past, which led me to the title of my series “reminiscent”. When I was a child, I sometimes ‘spaced out’ and daydreamed, then drew what I thought of…it’s still the same now, so my work seems reminiscent of those early times in my life”
