Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography)

My artwork explores abstract methods of introspection that fosters the importance of one enabling connection to the enigmatic parts of self. My work comes from a place of addled catharsis and vulnerability to communicate raw emotions or share a distinct experience. My artworks are mostly autobiographical. I commonly work with 35mm film, automatic-drawing and recycled materials. I collect random objects to reinvent them, photograph moments to memorialise their beauty and draw to map out unresolved emotions. The themes that I typically ruminate on are religious discourse, personal relationships, and my experience with mental health. My art primarily serves as a vehicle for self-exploration, I intend for it to provoke reflective discussion through the concepts I explore and present.
