Artist Statement
The visual communication landscape of our streets is a vibrant tapestry that reflects the essence and culture of a city. It is where culture is built. The Kumi series serve as a response to this captivating environment. Inspired by Japanese graphic culture and Anime, the portrait series explores the interplay of neo-futurism, brutalism, functional design, and symbolism that is fused with typographic signifiers found in signage systems, and hardware to generate a technical aesthetic that celebrates the ever-evolving urban landscape.Artist Bio
