Process, Intention and Expression

The fragmentation and displacement in the collage format, random and ragged juxtapositions of images often surreal or disturbingly provocative compositions reflect the changing times of the early 1900s. The Europeans were suffering from a feeling of lost identity and displacement - at the individual level, one had to define his personal role in society; on a larger scale, the idea of split consciousness (the real world and the subconscious world) was being heavily explored.
