Through narrative metaphors, I focused on the commonplace settings so the ideas presented may open up to the audience to reflect upon. In literal representation by way of oil painting, I have sought out to create an atmosphere that can relate directly to the memory banks of the audience. The open narrative allows the audience to juxtapose their own own memories with the visual metaphors of the artwork.

Items themselves hold certain individual nostalgia attached to it brought by the individual experience of the viewer. These can be covered, hidden, forgotten or rediscovered whether through time, by the will of the mind or spontaneously inspired. My paintings are an open window the audience can view the somber stillness of the allegorical memory.

We, as all born human must face our eventual end, dealing that our belongings will be passed but not the specific memory attached to it. In doing so, one can be freed to experience all that life has to offer in forms previously thought unimaginable.

Memory can elude us as time passes, making those we do remember ever more valuable.

The work is a retrospective, a reflection, a young artist's reminiscence in his short time on this planet.
