My images blur the boundaries between the real and the unreal. They are visual narratives that evoke a sense of transience, longing, memory, and dislocation. In merging photography with painting and portraiture with dreamed landscapes, my image-making leverages the richness of color and the patina of textures to rearrange reality. I invite my viewer to engage with me in an imaginative discourse and then to supply their own narrative — to reimagine what is possible.

The works in the Requiems series reconstruct places and experiences through the lens of memory, emotion, and imagination. Referencing the inevitability of the passage of time, they allude to the loss that accompanies it and the potential for growth and rebirth that stems from it. Art that depicts traumatic or difficult experiences can become a mirror, offering viewers a way to recognize their own experiences and emotions and find validation. In these works, I hope to connect artmaking with healing.

Headdress 80/20 is a fusion of art and neuroscience, born from my co-creation with Associate Professor Marta Garrido and her team during my Artist in Residence tenure at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences. My headdress symbolizes the challenges faced by individuals with mental health disorders in daily life. It merges anatomical elements of the brain and intricate haute couture details, externalizing the inner world of those with schizoaffective and anxious conditions, demonstrating the disconnect between internal experiences and external perceptions, transcending cultural boundaries. It began with broken EEG caps provided by Garrido and was inspired by observations during an fMRI experiment with Australian Budgerigars. Unexpected connections emerged: MEG met Alexander McQueen, and photography intertwined with wearable art.
