Nocturnal Ritual. Print, 15.5” x 21” print. Nocturnal Ritual captures the secret, nightly, mythical assembly of flowers in a garden. Coming together only in darkness, free from perceptible light and the presence of visitors, the flowers are liberated to gather as they please, away from the need to perform. Composed from flora photographed in Allan Gardens, the work collages multiple species into a single, impossible bouquet.
Subversive Power of Craftivism. A sequence of five 5” × 5” prints. Created for the Objects Project in Design Process 1, Subversive Power of Craftivism studies how colour, type, layout, and craft can act as tools of reclamation.
Mirage of Nostalgia. Collection of photographs. Like a mirage, nostalgia is an illusion—seductive yet ultimately unattainable. This series personifies an attachment to 2016-era nostalgia, filled with pastel colours and glitter. Appearing dazzling and precious, glitter is ultimately nothing more than small fragments of plastic. This duality mirrors the nature of nostalgia itself: sparkling on the surface, yet fragile and insubstantial beneath.
