About the Artwork

The Totem series is rooted in the notion of a contemporary totem. In an age ruled by rationality and technology, how do we respond to what remains mysterious, uncontrollable, or sacred? Each work abstracts plant forms into timeless spirits of nature, radiating their vital energy outward. The silks were first imbued with carefully chosen plants through natural dyeing, before the totemic forms emerged upon them.

Like all living matter, these plant-based colours continue their journey. They shift gently as they age, adapting to the presence of light, air, and the passage of time. Rather than remaining fixed, they remind us of impermanence, of the fragile yet powerful cycles of transformation that underpin existence itself.
