Spanning over five years (1997–2002), Burned Fingers is an epic, mosaic-like body of work composed of 1,000 individual panels—each measuring 3.5 x 4 inches. Together, they form a monumental self-portrait that evolves across time, trauma, and introspection.

Through recurring visual motifs and emotional fragmentation, the series navigates psychological unrest, spiritual symbolism, and existential inquiry. Loosely inspired by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Burned Fingers maps a terrain of personal crisis and cultural anxiety with obsessive precision. The work’s small scale invites intimacy, while its scale and scope demand reflection.
