About The Artwork

From the series Banana and Muffler

In the floral and patterned language of the banana motif, I find echoes of my childhood - when the muffler and bandana, known as Big Boy Style, were more than mere fashion. Once reserved for elder brothers, they became symbols of growing up, of discovering one’s identity.

Today, as captured in this series, the muffler and bandana remain timeless emblems of culture, protection, power, and self-expression - reminders that style can hold memory and meaning far beyond its surface.
