At the literal level the motif is the urban setting, more like the no-mans land of the suburban sprawl or the anonymous orifices on a high rise building. I like to play with the traditional painting format - that of a window or an opening in the wall to look in and look out.
The observed spaces often provide the springboard to the theater where the main actors are the props and the living beings are either yet to enter or have already left the stage. The all gleaming effect underscores an uneasy calm. In every scenario we are alone. Perhaps something is waiting to happen. The intimacy of our well lit but bleak world, full of inviting comforts but nowhere to truly belong.
