LIFE
Inspired by object-oriented ontology and biomorphic theory, this series examines the idea that objects possess their own intrinsic existence, independent of human perception. I used wax to recreate the shapes of objects she found, then allowed the wax to melt over time. This process represents the fluidity and transformation of life, mirroring how humans reshape themselves through their experiences and values.
Through this series, I highlights the fragility of life while challenging the anthropocentric notion that humans are the ultimate arbiters of meaning. Instead, I urges viewers to consider the autonomy of objects and the evolving relationship between life and existence.

SYMBOL
This series, titled Symbol, explores themes of placement and meaning. I used stones collected while mudlarking along the Thames and bones sourced from supermarkets, arranging them in unconventional, almost surreal positions. These arrangements were inspired by archaeological documentaries that depict how ancient people created structures like Stonehenge or other prehistoric sites, placing objects in significant formations.
Guided by intuition, I arranged the objects and translated these compositions into drawings, which I then etched using aquatint. By experimenting with different etching techniques and textures, I created varied backgrounds that evoke a sense of mystery. The work invites viewers to question the meaning behind these placements, much like how we interpret the enigmatic intentions of our ancestors.
This exploration is rooted in the idea of collective consciousness, as discussed by Carl Jung. I aim to spark individual interpretations and encourage viewers to connect with these images from their own perspectives, reflecting on the shared mysteries of human thought and symbolism.

EXISTENCE
The Existence series is inspired by microscopic images I observed. When viewing stones and bones under a microscope, they appeared to resemble cells and elemental forms—the building blocks of life or objects—highlighting the essence of existence.
Using white spirit, I drew and created monoprints based on this concept. In the first piece, I drew within the shape of the object, symbolizing how individuals form their own meanings of life or objects. In the second piece, I drew outside the object, emphasizing the role of the environment in shaping our understanding. The third piece focuses on the broader environment and its influence on form and structure.
Through this series, I invite viewers to reflect on the meaning of existence and consider how their values and perspectives are shaped by both their inner world and the external environment.

OBJECT
This series, titled Object, began with stones I discovered while mudlarking along the Thames. Their shapes captivated me—resembling eggs or sea creatures, yet clearly lifeless. To contrast this, I incorporated bones sourced from supermarkets or butchers, symbols of life’s structure. I photographed each piece and transferred the images onto plywood, creating what resembles a portrait collection.
At the heart of this work is a fascination with how we define life and assign meaning to the world around us. As observers, we become the ones who judge and ascribe significance to objects, yet these objects exist independently of us. Perhaps it’s time to challenge our perspective and see them differently. Could they possess their own form of life? Maybe existence itself is an expression of being alive.

PRIMO
Inspired by microscopic cells—the fundamental building blocks of life—this series explores the concept of Dasein, as introduced by Martin Heidegger in Being and Time. Reflecting on the continuous evolution of life, I was drawn to the idea of transformation, from the very first cells to the unfolding journey of existence.
To embody this concept, I dissolved the zinc plate into multiple parts, allowing natural selection to guide the process. I introduced various chemicals—rinds varnish, straw hat, limonene, and methylated spirits—onto the water’s surface, then lifted the plate to capture the organic, unpredictable patterns that emerged. The interaction of these chemicals created fascinating reactions, forming intricate textures and compositions. I then etched the plate, mirroring the randomness and organic nature of life’s beginnings.

CELL
Inspired by the fundamental elements of life—cells as seen under a microscope, one of the most common ways we visualize life—I explore how our understanding is shaped by the lens of this particular moment in history. Through this work, I question whether science is the only truth and aim to capture a record of our current perspective for future generations.
The shapes in my work are created through chemical reactions on the primo plate, resulting in completely organic forms that resemble cells and bodily structures—suggesting both the presence and shape of life. I hand-color each form, using hues inspired by medical imagery to further evoke the language of science and the body.

FORMATION
Formation is a continuation of the Primo series. In this work, I etched the plate into an organic shape inspired by the patterns found in Primo. The resulting form resembles an island or a cell, suggesting that life exists within it—and is emerging from it.

DECOMPOSITION
Decomposition is a continuation of my previous series, Primo, Formation. In this work, I further etched the plate until it began to fall apart—symbolizing the inevitable changes in life and how different environments shape us. Through this process, the work reflects how these transformations contribute to each individual’s unique existence.

ELEMENT
“Element” is a continuation of my earlier series Primo, Formation, and Decomposition. In this work, I kept etching the plate until it began to break apart into small fragments. These fragments resemble individual cells—the fundamental units of life—and also resemble pieces of land, like a map. I arranged these pieces in shifting, random configurations, reflecting the unpredictable nature of life shaped by countless coincidences. Each fragment represents a unique individual, and together, they form a landscape of personal journeys—each person with their own life map.

HAGSTONE
Hagstone is a series of castings made from a hagstone I discovered while mudlarking. I’m fascinated by the stories and folklore surrounding it, and I’ve explored this by casting it in a variety of materials—including aluminium, pewter, bronze, soil, and plaster. My interest lies in experimenting with different materials and how each one transforms the object.
