An early training in fine art developed an interest in how spatial and emotional dynamics shape the way we engage with materials and environments. I enjoy the storytelling of filmmaking and take influence from this in making and weaving visual narratives that reflect lived experience. Skateboarding influences my work, informing my relationship with urban spaces and the street as a site of play, movement, and interaction. I approach landscape through emotion and memory, always considering the human scale—how we inhabit, remember, and feel space. By combining these practices, I aim to create immersive works that blur boundaries between disciplines, inviting reflection on how we navigate and connect with the world around us.
