 In what ways has architectural training refined your artistic process? 

From an early age, I was curious about the arts. My family encouraged me to develop a cultural mind. Soon, art became my hobby, my pleasure. After entering university to study architecture, I became passionate about learning to observe from different perspectives. The architectural journey enhanced my vision; both in sight and in mind. Architecture is not only about dead structures; it is about visualising space through observation. Thus, my observation skills led me to see deeper meaning through my art and photography, refining my own artistic style.

 How do you conceptualise the relationship between space and emotion in your work? 

For me, concept is a strong foundation of my artwork. Space visualisation is incomplete without emotion. To merge them, concept development acts as the bridge. My artistic approach is not visually striking, it is from overlooked, unnoticed perspectives, seeking the inner beauty represented in their own unique ways. Merging space with emotion makes my artwork engaging to the soul, opening new perspectives of thought from simplicity.

To me, conceptualisation is not naming the artwork. The concept becomes the artwork.

 What are the ethical considerations you face as an artist? 

I believe ethics are to be held in the heart and expressed through behaviour. It is natural rather than forced. As an artist working in different fields of art, I consider the down-to-earth beauty of my country, our heritage as a glorious past, and inspiration from nature as lessons for future development. I circumvent controversies, vulgarity, and conflicts, as artwork is a representation of the artist's taste.
