Photography
2018 - on going
Photography was my main medium during my BA studies. I’ve always had a passion and facisnation for capturing a moment and the memories that linger within it. Nostalgia and memories were the themes that I explored with photography, subjects very personal to me.
In photography I have a preference for film photography, though digital is present. In this section, there is a mix between portraits and landscapes, most mostly faceless subject and moments that are a part of an on going series “Disposable Chamber” (2018).

Textiles
2019 - on going
Embracing textiles in my body of work happened by chance in my final BA year. For me, the action of weaving and sewing create a rhytmic and hipnotic therapeutics process of healing, a physical diary and exercise. Most final products are not public, but I plan to let these pieces be free once i’m ready.
“Breathe In” (2019) is my final BA piece. A wool weaven blanket extending from 1m by 1.5m. A month long process where I started to realise how I can heal.
