My journey through art has been ongoing for as long as I can remember, and seems to evolve every year. Although, I think I have finally found my message as an artist. The work I have produced for the past three years are heavily influenced by the self and my emotions at a given period; and translates my vision of fine art into photography.
The degree has inspired me to look beyond the camera and introduced me to the world of curation, editing and text, in which I aspire do in my future career. I will continue my journey in photography and combine it with my love for life, travel, special moments, and new experiences.
This is only the beginning, and I look forward to whatever the universe throws at me next. It’s me and my rickety film camera against the world!
noise (2025)
After a tough second year, this project was a birth of the emotions I was feeling towards my creative practice. I felt I had no means to create or produce, no motivation to continue. Instead of letting this feeling take over, I chose to act upon them and create a photographic response, in which I eventually figured out that noise was the problem. Noise from peers, myself, society… once you realise it, you hear it everywhere.
I chose to photograph the exact things that translate in my head as my circle of contentment within the storm of noise. Philosopher Epicurus dedicated his ethos to the notion that human unhappiness resides in ‘the fear fostered by such superstitious accounts of natural phenomena’. This concept of inevitable fear of human destiny can occupy a great amount of one’s fears or memories, in which I am actively choosing to reject to be fulfilled in my young life. It took years of clinging to memories that are harmful to finally figure out that it is okay to let things go and live by this philosophy.
This final year work was dedicated to this process, and a visual representation of what this feels like to me. It is an homage to letting go, to remembering who you are and what you believe in, giving yourself time to grieve, to live, to love, to dream, to be.
