Half Horse Half Jahaika is a self-portrait that imagines the artist as a centaur, combining human consciousness with the strength and instinct of a horse. Holding a bow and arrow, the figure represents focus, direction and the moment before action.
The work explores the balance between instinct and intention, while the small companion painting introduces a dialogue between the personal and the political. Rather than choosing between the two, Half Horse Half Jahaika exists in the space where myth, identity and the present day meet.
