She comes to me at night…and takes me in her arms
This work is very personal to me. At the end of 2018, while living in New York City, I lost
the sight in my right eye. Along with my eyesight, I also lost my self-esteem and
confidence. This lasted for a few months and finally, I went to the hospital. The next
day when I came home, I ended up lying powerlessly on the living room floor, crying
uncontrollably. I felt lonely, broken and abandoned. Then, I imagined The Other Me, a
benevolent apparition who began coming to me and hugging me. That very day, I
decided that I would create a piece for myself, alternately filled with poetry and beauty
as well as pain. I started bringing home flowers and plants and they surrounded me
during my long convalescence. Then, I etched them into the metal, thus infusing them
with eternal life.
Because of the reflection of the metal, I let the the viewer enter my emotional space.
