My new evolving series “Eclipse” delves into themes that are deeply personal yet, I feel, universally resonant.

The series was inspired by concepts of the hidden and the obscured, touching on feelings of loss and, for me, the quest for a sense of home.

With Eclipse, I've taken the concept of obscuring and played with it visually. It’s about making something significant feel just out of reach, yet still tantalisingly visible.

This significant “something” is sitting behind layers and layers of marks which act as a visual obstacle or a barrier.

The obstacle in itself can be beautiful but it prevents you from fully experiencing what’s beyond it. For me it’s a metaphor for life, loss, and ultimately solace.

I’m not interested in depicting an objective reality but in capturing the emotions and memories that colour my perception of the world.

It’s fascinating how artwork can resonate with people who have completely different experiences because the essence of these themes that I’m exploring is pretty universal.

I believe art should connect on a profound level. It's about creating a bridge between personal expression and collective understanding.

This series is my most personal body of work to date, it’s raw and honest. It's a reflection of my inner world shared outwardly.
