In my work, I'm far from illustrating the surrounding world, interpreting nature or resorting to anecdotal narrative. What appears in the city, gallery, or idyllic surroundings seems to be the sum and consequence of idealized afterglows, as well as landscapes, places, events and cultural references which are preserved in memory.
