The works in Specific Paths (2022) consist of free-hand drawings on graph paper.
The absence of a ruler is intentional to create lines that are not perfectly
straight. The title of the series, "Specific Paths", speaks to certain systems
that dictate paths for humans and as a result dictate humanness to
machine-like processes. The wiggly appearance of the resulting lines
highlights it is impossible for humans to operate as machines, in addition
to showing the human side that is imperfect and not a machine.
