Here I seek to restore my childhood fantasies that were once forbidden, with the creative process being an enrichment of my own fullness and a formation of my personal system. I construct “bodies” out of the abandoned home appliances, furniture and other common products. In altering these materials, the objects become assemblages of fragmented utilities and amalgamates of things. In doing so, I emphasise the elements that have been glossed over due to our experience with the objects. By allowing audience and myself to look upon the familiar forms anew, I finally reasserted control over the space I have lived in.
