My work explores nostalgia and
the domesticity of the home
through stilllife, using bright
colours, bold patterns, and
flattened perspectives. I aim
to bring everyday scenes to life,
focusing on symbols such as
tables, chairs, vases, and fruit
bowls. I try to turn simple familiar
setups into something more
energetic and playful. I’m not
interested in copying exactly
what I see; it’s more
aboutcapturing the feeling
and character of a
scene through the simplification
of shape. I want my paintings to
feel joyful and to help people see
the beauty in the ordinary. To
develop my world-building, I have
taken symbols from my paintings
such as a fruit bowl and a vase —
and made three-dimensional
pieces. This plays on the idea of
bringing elements of my work to
life, giving new meaning to
everyday objects and encouraging
people to appreciate them again. I
also reflect on my world-building
through costume making, creating
various costumes over the past
year that explore themes of
comedy and extravagance.
