Artist Statement

UP IN THE SMOKE

Smoke I see not only as a black air, but I find multiple images when it flares up in its dark soft form Through the technique of candle smoke, I tried to control it according to images I wanted to create I also use burnt carbons to create textures Additionally, by adding acrylic paints, and masking tape I have created abstract visuals.
