I draw inspiration from processes of growth and transformation observed in nature, from metamorphosising insects and amphibians to the expansive potential within a tiny seed.
As humans, we go through our own amazing series of transformations, not just in our physical bodies, but in our beliefs and feelings as well. Our roles shift as we enter new stages of life, and simultaneously, every part of the world we live in is in a continuous in a state of transition. Change is a necessary process, at times intentional and at times involuntary. Regardless of whether we choose to accept it, change is happening all around us, and we must either adapt or we get stuck. Change is not always pretty, and we might not want anyone looking while we are in the process of transforming. Sometimes we might feel like a specimen on display, completely exposed in our most vulnerable moments. This is what I want you to see in my work. I aim to capture that awkward place of in-between, where we are no longer who we were, and yet we don’t fully understand the person we are becoming.
