In these works, the dark and fluid forms mimic the movement of water. The images feel submerged, almost suspended, as if they are caught between visibility and disappearance. I use light and shadow to create a sense of mystery and depth, allowing the photographs to become less literal and more psychological.

​

The monochromatic palette helps me strip the image back to texture, contrast, and atmosphere. Without colour, the work becomes quieter, more timeless, and more open. The use of fine sketchbook paper gives the photographs a tactile quality, bringing them closer to drawing, memory, and handmade objects.

​

For me, Under the Sea is about inner exploration. It is about diving into the unknown parts of the self — the places we avoid, the things we carry, the emotions that sit beneath the surface. The sea becomes a space of obscurity and revelation, where something hidden can slowly begin to appear.

​

Under the Sea connects with my broader interest in the unseen, the imagined, and the emotional spaces that cannot always be explained directly.
