How would you describe your style?
I’ve never consciously gone out to develop a personal style. So more often than not, my subject matter which I’m exploring dictates my style.
Who would it appeal to?
Anybody! Most of the positive reactions I’ve got come from the younger generation, however.
What is good design to you?
It should be balanced, meaningful and cutting-edge.
How would you define street style?
Subversive, spontaneous and extremely personal.
How do you think visual art is related to other aspects of urban culture?
Visual art is urban culture. If you look at any modern urban setting, we are constantly bombarded with images. Our culture is a visual one, so art is everywhere. Now whether it is good or bad art, that’s a totally different question.

Actually, winning isn’t really part of my agenda. I’m already happy that I got nominated. Getting recognition is good enough!

Who would it appeal to?
It’ll appeal to the young.
What is good design to you?
Good design is humble.
How would you define street style?
Street style is all things independent!
How do you think visual art is related to other aspects of urban culture?
Visual art lends a voice to urban culture. Urban culture generally revolves around youth, and visuals are a fast and easy way to document or communicate within youth culture.
