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. 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.
