  • OBSERVE
  • I stitch and paint my observations with mixed materials, transforming small everyday details into layered visual and tactile experiences.
  • Vertebrae morphology
  • I layered spray-painted shapes of a twisted spine using silver, fluorescent, purple, and dark purple tones to express tension and transformation.
  • Dancing balloons
  • I explored the movement of balloons and plastic bags as they danced in the air, using crayons, watercolours, and coloured markers to express their fluid energy.
  • I examined the shifting shapes of my cervical spine through painting, employing spray techniques to record its movement and reveal the physical tension embedded in my creative process.
  • I used abundant silver and purple spray paint to explore my cervical spine’s forms while painting, documenting its shifting shapes and dynamic movements.
  • Kitty
  • encountered a long-haired cat by the roadside and captured its affectionate gesture using crayons and watercolours to explore warmth and emotional connection.
  • Cat café
  • I sketched the exterior of a cat café, using markers to capture its charming courtyard and the scene’s tranquil beauty through quick visual observation.
  • British streets
  • After a group visit, I recreated the vibrant UK street scene at home using watercolours, coloured pens, and layered food packaging to explore composition and rhythm.
  • Flower
  • I observed and painted flowers in the garden using varied watercolours and pearlescent tones, experimenting with blowing techniques to express organic form and movement.

  • Mountain
  • After arriving in the UK, I felt buried under piles of clothes. I used diverse painting materials to record and explore the tactile textures and emotional resonance of garments.
