Small Encounters brings together three intimate paintings based on overlooked objects and natural fragments. A discarded translucent plastic bag resembles a stray dog, fallen plant forms become tiny slippers or mushrooms, and the inside of a split lotus seed reveals a small hidden figure.

Working at a small scale encourages close and careful viewing. These paintings treat pareidolia not as an illusion to be corrected, but as a personal way of encountering the world. Familiar materials remain recognisable while simultaneously opening into imagined lives and identities.
