An act of generosity remains generous when it isn’t being tallied on a scoreboard.

Series - "This Is 2126 Calling".
During the final months of 2025, while developing the concept for this body of work, I was contemplating the significance & enduring relevance of the ‘New Year’s resolution’.

One suggested approach to identifying meaningful New Year intentions was to imagine an end of year conversation reflecting on your most significant achievements.

Rather than a 12 month check in, I pondered how I might respond to questions from a future version of myself, 100 years ahead, asking if I was pleased with how I was choosing to move through this one precious life.

Would 2126 me be grateful that I’m flossing my teeth? High- five me for taking my supplements? Be encouraging of gestures of kindness without scorekeeping?

Throughout the works I incorporated canvas & wallpaper cuttings shaped as skulls, alongside landline phones & vessels representing the four classical elements (air as intellect, energy as fire, earth as stability & water as emotion) to encourage playful curiosity within the act of self-reflection.

‘This Is 2126 Calling’ is part contemplation, part nostalgia, part humour, hope, & tenderness, & is just a little….wayward.
