“We think with the objects we love, we love the objects we think with.” (Sherry

Turkle)

My work deals with themes of hauntology and materiality and aims to

investigate the phenomenon of inanimate objects retaining a vestige of their

previous function and cultural significance, and how this impacts our perception

of found objects, ultimately leading to an enhancement of their ecological

value.

My artistic practice delves into the profound influence these objects hold in our

present lives by exploring the impact these same objects had during our

formative years. There is a disconnect in our relationship with these objects

generated over time. I seek to express this emotional distance in my work.

I employ everyday objects as the common threads that weave through our

personal environments. Through their alteration, I seek to question the

attitudes, fears, and unspoken rules that have shaped our surroundings and our

behaviours within them.

My focus lies in the language of materials and the transformative possibilities

that arise from manipulating and rearranging their inherent properties. Starting

with modest objects like bottles, cans, and packaging—items that once served

practical purposes but have been removed and repurposed—I systematically

deconstruct and reconstruct materials to reflect the processes and production

involved. I employ a diverse range of media such as sculpture, installation, film,

ceramics, and kinetic sculpture.

These household objects serve as a foundation for reimagining new systems

that align with our evolving ecological environments and lived experiences.
