Tales of Colours and Imagination (Gym) (2024) is an abstract photograph which takes the viewer into a dance of colours. These colours contrast incredibly well against the black background and are extremely glossy, which helps to take the viewer’s eyes and guide them across the colours. The use of macro photography here takes the viewer…

Moments in Monochrome (2021), sugar has been transformed into an art medium, which is contrasted by the black background. The sugar symbolises the sweet fleeting moments while also a symbol of light against the dark (black background) in the work. The black background contrasts with the sugar, pushing a more existentialistic concept to the artwork.…

Untitled No. 1 (2024) is an extremely abstract mixed-media painting; from the bottom, we can see what resembles flowers. This could suggest a landscape scene as it evolves into two trees alongside red blocks of colour; these blocks could be an extension of the field of flowers or shadows from the trees. Above the trees,…

The Dress (2024) is a dress that has been stained with red and pink stains, which are a resemblance to violence, blood and vulnerability. The dress is made of white cotton which perfectly allows for these stains to be imprinted onto it and show the scene as it is. The stains are made from acrylic,…

I See Red (2024) is explores the artist’s exploration of their trauma and strength, along with the chaos of life and being able to control it with your own rules. The artwork itself is a declaration of the artist not to be held by other people’s rules but rather her own. It thus captures the…

Allusions of Grandeur (2022) [the photograph version] presents both domesticity and landscapes, combines them, and challenges the convention that they cannot be merged. Using a skyscape at the top of the composition and the bathtub at the bottom of the composition combines them and makes it as though the water within the bath is potentially…

When The Night (2023) is a artwork which merges portraiture and the community of Maida Hill together. The composition of the work is centred inside space with a sphere (which most likely represents a hollowed out moon) along with a crescent moon. From this we can understand that the artwork thus gives a dream vibe…

When you first look at t1 (2024), you will see that it blends texture and realism quite skillfully. On a closer examination of these textured parts, the layering stands out, as there is great luminosity, shadows, and depth within the composition. This creates quite a sculptural appearance to the figures in the work, while the…

MG_6201 (2024) explores Hughes’s journey and memory on the Philosopher’s Walk in Kyoto, Japan. The corruption of the image data has created a great layering of texture within the photograph, while the image is merged with another image. This, therefore, allows the viewer to see multiple elements within one region, which moves the viewer’s eye…

Cultivate (2023) is a video artwork that moves from slightly realistic natural to highly abstract scenes. The landscapes within the video are seemingly transformed into textured mandala-like patterns. This abstraction helps to enhance the viewer’s immersion as it captures the eye. While watching the video, we notice the pulsation from the video, which helps to…
