Artist Statement
Defaced
The coins are just a currency for the people but for me, they always fascinated me, its metallic colors and low relief have always been enticing. The coins and the yearly dates depicted on coins had a great meaning to me and always take me back to the memories, both experienced and told by my elders.
I have changed the size of the coins to give a meaning to the visuals and to share my memories with public at large. My work consists of round surfaces, I defaced the coins and swapped it with my memories.
