ABOUT

+

“If I find myself there again” is a piece where Jalil aimed to explore the relationship between the non-natural and natural objects within the piece. This exploration created a flow throughout the layering process. Jalil states “It is also a reflection of my time in Montreal and the relationships I’ve garnered and the experiences I had there. I often enjoy making a new piece for each project, so when The Letter Bet reached out to have me included in their print series, I used it as an opportunity to dig through the items I had collected and relive some of my experiences and reflect on them.”
