Showcasing his art pieces through this journey of subtle reflection, Saga's debut theme is Art's influence on the human psyche as he takes all creatives and lovers of this Art form on a visual expedition of the self and the world around us — highlighting the subtle nuances of our surroundings and the human experience
With each piece thoughtfully crafted to evoke an emotional response from the viewer, Saga splurges on vivacious colours and forms that draw the viewer in, encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions with the intent to stimulate meaningful conversations and engage the audience in a profound and introspective exploration of their emotions.
Saga views his art as a medium for self-expression and a means to tell stories which he considers an important conduit for transmitting and communicating healing images. In his own words; “there is nothing more apt in defining openness and vulnerability, than applying the device of nakedness to address issues around mental health.”
