Artist Statement
 
Ctl+Alt+Del is an exhibition that explores the themes of mis/dis-information on war and the complex history within the socio-political past and present landscape. Influenced by digital "noise," I employ collage techniques composed of elements and fragments of war imagery alongside intricate patterns of Lao textiles to construct a narrative that transcends conventional boundaries. Through the interplay of texture, color, and symbolism, I am reclaiming and reinterpreting past and present fragments to foster dialogue, empathy, and understanding in a world too often divided by conflict and strife. In weaving together these elements, I seek to challenge perceptions and provoke introspection. In today's social media landscape, where hashtags like #LiveWar and #LikeWar coexist with rampant misinformation, reality blurs with perception. My art invites viewers to confront war's often uncomfortable realities while striving to unravel the intricate tapestry of human experience, particularly within conflict and its aftermath. These paintings serve as a visual exploration of memory, resilience, and the passage of time.
