The artist’s contemplation of the frailty of existence takes the form of frayed thread-like streaks in the series, Roots. Running vertically along the length of the canvas they appear disconnected from their origin. The image is reminiscent of a certain disembodiment that is pronounced in the absence of loved ones. The roots slip past the edge of the canvas; essaying the desire to find an anchor.
