Artist Statement

My practice explores what it means to be human in an age increasingly shaped by technology, images, and systems of representation. While my earlier work focused on female expression, desire, and the politics of visibility, my research has gradually expanded into broader philosophical questions surrounding consciousness, identity, creativity, and the human need to be recognised by others.

​

Working across moving image, painting, and lecture-based formats, I am interested in how individuals construct meaning within the social, technological, and historical conditions they inhabit. I see artistic practice as a form of philosophical inquiry: a means of investigating why we create, how we understand ourselves, and what traces of experience can be communicated through image, language, and embodiment.

My thinking has been informed by feminist philosophers including Simone de Beauvoir and Hélène Cixous, but increasingly I have found myself drawn to wider philosophical traditions that consider the relationship between self and world. In particular, the writings of Kitarō Nishida have become significant to my research. His exploration of experience, place, and the interconnectedness of subject and environment resonates with my ongoing interest in how human beings make meaning and locate themselves within a rapidly changing world.​

​

Through film, painting, and research-led artistic experimentation, I seek to create work that examines the tensions between technological mediation and lived experience, visibility and interiority, history and the present. Rather than offering fixed conclusions, my work aims to create spaces for reflection on what it means to be human and how we continue to search for meaning, connection, and recognition in contemporary life.
