Opus 1 (The Fugue of Art) is a cartographic altarpiece of entangled personal and collective histories spanning Asia, Africa, and Europe, adopting a postcolonial or transcultural perspective. It positions the artist’s practice within a broader socio-political and cultural context, while referencing classical traditions and formal structures. The work merges intimate and universal themes, inviting a re-examination of identity, heritage, and the interwoven nature of histories.
