Tikku

HI! I’m a person who thinks in systems and expresses in symbols.
Part poet, part painter, part perpetual observer -
often a party to the intermingling of the three.

About
“Everything becomes art if I think about it for long enough.”
I write, paint, read, overthink, and occasionally stare out of windows under the guise of being productive. I’ve always been fascinated by people; the lives they’re living, the things they carry, the versions of themselves they show the world and the ones they don’t. Most of my work is born from that curiosity and from a desire to understand both the world around me and the one inside my own head.
This website is a collection of those explorations; paintings, poems, essays, projects, half-formed ideas and fully formed obsessions. You’ll find my poetry anthology, my eyes like the sight of you, my visual thesis Fiction Confusion, and everything in between. If nothing else, it’s proof that I’ve been paying attention.
