The primal notion underpinning my work is rooted in a radical rejection of the perceived division between nature and society. I view this divide as a politically charged ideological legacy of patriarchal, colonial and religious social constructs. Recognising the body as a natural and social entity, I use it as a medium to establish connections between these seemingly distinct realms, challenging the patterns that divide us from the environment and other inhabitants.
Driven by a desire to deepen our notion of togetherness, my work explores environmental relations of the Anthropocene and more-than-human subjectivity inherent to all object-oriented encounters. My work is deeply rooted in process-based engagement, environmental observation, and the hand-picking of materials. Confronting the unpleasant reality and engaging with a hands-on approach represent fundamental pillars of my practice: the distressing reality of ecological collapse fuels my desire to address themes such as biotic interdependency, the political shaping of our collective environmental experience, the cyclical processes, the temporality of the body, and the social valuation of different entities. Through my work, I aim to promote ecological awareness and the perception of a unified flow between natural and social spheres as I believe art enables us to experience hardship within a community framework.
