Untitled I (Circle series)

Working with the symbolism of a circle that protects, maintains, flows and connects, magazine imagery is held in a space of suspended animation, exploring notions of disposability and temporality within a unified whole. By exploding the external - an obsessive fragmentation of multiple perspectives drawn from the visual culture that surrounds us - I am simultaneously looking inward, drawing references from diverse philosophical sources and spiritual practices. Often seen as a symbol of protection, the circle template was taken from my dining table placemat, referencing intimacy and constraint within the domestic sphere. Emotionally accentuated during the pandemic, the home became a central ground for every aspect life, redefining a sense of time, relationship and priority.
