Jellyfish brings together the intricate complexity of lace with the quiet stillness of the jellyfish, uniting structure and serenity.
Lace has become a defining symbol within my practice. Though often perceived as delicate, its true strength lies in its construction — the more intricately it is woven, the stronger and more resilient it becomes.
The jellyfish, an enduring icon of the sea, with undeniable beauty. Beneath its ethereal presence lies remarkable resilience and adaptability. Through subtle behavioural adaptations shaped by past experiences, the jellyfish reveals a refined and efficient intelligence.

Lace sits at the heart of my work as a powerful symbol — at once fragile and resilient. Its intricate construction mirrors the complexity of our own DNA: delicate in appearance, yet strengthened through interconnection and repetition.

Lace sits at the heart of my work as a powerful symbol — at once fragile and resilient. Its intricate construction mirrors the complexity of our own DNA: delicate in appearance, yet strengthened through interconnection and repetition.
From six weeks after conception, to the moment we exhale our last breath, the heart beats continuously. Minute after minute, day after day, our heart pumps tirelessly. There are no rest breaks, no days off; the heart continues to beat.
The strength of this organ belies the fragility of life, hiding an inescapable truth. When it stops, we stop.
This piece explores the anatomical foundations of life which weave throughout us. Highlighting the juxtaposition of their innate strength against the delicate nature of life.

Composure Through Conduction illustrates what living with epilepsy is like for me. Changes in barometric pressure cause absence seizures that may appear benign but feel like a storm inside my head.

Composure Through Conduction illustrates what living with epilepsy is like for me. Changes in barometric pressure cause absence seizures that may appear benign but feel like a storm inside my head. My visible symptoms are blinking, staring, or pausing mid-sentence, yet their greater impact lies in the internal disruption: sudden anxiety, detachment, impaired concentration, memory loss, and severe migraines. This makes my thinking unreliable, as though my brain is misfiring or lagging, leaving scarring on both mind and body.
When storms arise, I experience clusters of severe symptoms that impair my ability to engage with the world. Growing up, I learned to mask my symptoms—projecting composure while hiding the storm inside. Painting became a way to see through the storm.
This self-portrait aims to increase awareness of epilepsy’s hidden impacts. Juxtaposing internal chaos with external composure, revealing the dissonance between lived experience and outward perception.
