ABOUT

Within my research-based practice, I use collage and photography to interrogate the connection between nature and culture. My work traces trajectories of the Enlightenment and Romanticism found in the present day. I aim to put in question notions of progress drafted by Enlightenment thinkers that still cling on to the current global social, economic, and political contexts.
