Opening The Door Of Truth

Monna ke nku !!!

Artist statement

My creation speaks to wards my perceptions about the character of a damaged man. From an abusive parent to struggling mentally and emotionally while simultaneously trying to be an obedient child/teenager was trail and error prone.

I speak of my own experiences of my father’s inward resentment towards women fuelled by his personal resentment of seeing his mother on a power trip, my pain in his eyes. I’ve always believed that the He has always seen grandma as a ruthless woman considering that she had taken control in the house having the last word ;and a gentle father who was in touch with his feminine side. My visual direction with this body of work is to put onto paper what the world and especially women look like through the spectacles of inferior complex.
