As a dual citizen, I exist in a perpetual state of in-betweenness, never fully at home in either country, always slightly foreign and out of place. This sense of otherness informs my work, which is rooted in the discomfort of doubt and the tension between familiarity and estrangement. I seek out the unfamiliar and find moments of recognition within it, just as I encounter once-familiar places that now feel distant and confusing.

Often, I’m drawn to images, objects, and spaces whose significance has faded or fractured—remnants of culture, and history. I approach them with fresh eyes, as if seeing them for the first time, and in doing so, question what it means to feel affiliation and ownership in a transient and changeable life.

I’m especially interested in overlooked and decaying environments - places others might dismiss as unremarkable or even ugly - seeking out unexpected compositions and moments of quiet beauty within them. By spending time in these spaces it's sometimes possible to witness the moment when something once known begins to feel unfamiliar, or when the strange becomes unexpectedly intimate. This shift in perception is where my work begins.

My process usually begins with my own photographs, taken both at home and when travelling. These images serve as a personal archive of observation: glimpses of the everyday, the mundane, the overlooked. By working and reworking these photographs in pen, paint and print, I deconstruct and repair to question what we think we see and uncover something unexpected.

I prefer to use sustainable and recycled materials when possible, including repurposed paper from old books—pages already steeped in memory and history. These materials carry their own stories, and by printing over them, I create layered narratives of destruction and reinterpretation.

Through this process, I invite viewers to reconsider their own relationship with both the places they call home, and the places that seem so alien. At the heart of my practice is a desire to see differently, and to dwell in the strange in-between of uncertainty. This work does not offer answers but instead inhabits the liminal spaces where  recognition falters, and new understanding can emerge.
