About the artwork:

I created 'The Salon' after the image came to my mind so vividly - I desperately needed to put it on paper to release it from my psyche. It is both a projection of my own existential fear of 'loss of self' and a commentary on the collective unrest regarding the rate of technological advancement. Through grief, I've become more sensitive to the demons that hide within things - the ones that look out from screens, waiting to hijack the human spirit. I feel the strong force of the darkness latching on, turning me away from self, and yet reminding me to switch off and sit in silent spaces, connecting to the subtle nuances of the present moment without the interference of digitally imposed linearity.
