From “Eastern Brushes” album

“We are back to Plato’s Cave. The world is reduced to shadows & lights dancing upon the walls.  The walls are real, they flicker, omnipresent. They are the screens of our tablets, computers, and smartphones. I’ve been drawing and scribbling on them with my fingers since 2012. I feel both Paleolithic and contemporary. I am a new Cave Artist. Huge swathes of our cultural heritage are collapsing and disappearing. We have lost and forgotten so much, but we are reminded of our losses and memories. The walls are closing in on us, they are too close, we cannot see well. It’s all here, on these pages, including the shards of visual codes that survived but became incomprehensible. The puzzle’s changed rapidly, we had to keep up, yet the reflections rushed on. The walls are getting smarter, they have begun to absorb us, perhaps one day we will merge. Conceivably they will reflect us better than we have ever reflected on ourselves. The following works are still a record of the human condition.”
