“Fragments”, 2025.
This series is inspired by a childhood memory of watching the 1950s Disney film Alice in Wonderland. A scene where Alice is in a pitch black forest, she finds a pathway to escape wonderland, only to find a dog with a broom for a face obliviously sweeping away this path and her chance to escape this nightmare world she has found herself in. After my mum's death in 2021, my practice changed, I have been exploring my grief, fear of non-existence and the fragmented memories that make up life. This is a journey I can only seem to do through my photographs or unconscious dreams. What has remained the same in my practice however, is the desire to find order, calm and beauty in the world and my own mind.
