Currently, I'm taking the idea of capturing domestic settings within a family with complications and deconstructing the idea of a ‘perfect family’ image.
My pieces are mainly family-rooted due a lack of understanding and having questions left unanswered. Therefore, I feel the reason I portray my own family in my work is to almost investigate the conflict. I'm looking behind the ‘happy’ moments and trying to show the ‘negative’ reality.
Over time I have started to experiment with photography. Using images displays a powerful sense of disturbance into the illusion and breaks into the actuality of a domestic setting. Playing with the scale of my art also shows that even something small could have a bigger impact on someone else. This helps me express my experience and how certain situations made me feel.
When questioning the intentions and reasons behind my works, I have struggled answering as I hadn’t actually known. I thought my family was the only family with issues within our four walls. Then came to conclude other families also struggle with difficult times. Which prompted me to realise I have finally found a sense of why I create these works is because I'm passionate to reflect, to recognise and to bring awareness to domestic problems.
