<The illusion of unconsciousness which is visualised by fake naivety>

In my art works, I often convey human fetish through fake naivety. The voyeuristic male gazing is recurring as another theme regarding on between personal memories and other socio-collective unconsciousness. My drawings describe kinky inclination and its deficiency- studies of personal Utopia. Viewers are touched by and enjoying the soft hue of colours and use of childish figures. However their breaths are taken away as soon as they recognise the protagonists' tragic state regarding humiliation and sexual abuse. The fragments of twisted and distorted memories are reinterpreted after these were dismantled as images by the use of collage and simultaneously reorganised and reedited. The absurdity pretending description causes bizarre notions and daydream, and this refers to Freud's theories on childhood trauma as a form of disobedience, a refusal to give in to social prejudice.
