Seeking the
Whole Picture
‘Seeking the whole picture’ investigates how realities and identities are constituted through perception. The visual outcome consists of three-dimensional photographic sculptures. Seen from a specific angle, the sculptures take the appearance of fragmented floating images, with a shift of perspective the portraits are perceived as whole and display young people embarking on a King’s Trust’s self-development programme.
I used anamorphic principles to conceptualise a philosophy of seeing with ‘perception and understanding’ as opposed to superficially. The project draws on the notions that multiple realities could coexist. The artwork invites the passivity of spectatorship to open up to activity; the viewers are prompted to engage with the sculpture to find the sweet-spots in order to put the pieces of the puzzle together to reveal an explicit image.

Creating Futures:
Arts, Heritage and
Community
Waltham Forest College marked its 85th anniversary with an exhibition that brought together historical archive material alongside the work of contemporary artists. This celebration of the college’s rich history showcased a diverse array of artwork, memorabilia, photography, and film.
Over the course of three years, I had the privilege of collaborating with the college and visual artists JC Candanedo and Laura Chevalier on this project. Together, we worked alongside students from the King's Trust Team programme, engaging them through a series of creative workshops designed to inspire their artistic skills. The collaborative effort culminated in a group exhibition in October 2023, where the students’ work was displayed alongside the archival material.
