I’m often thinking about how we can intentionally create the conditions for a core memory — not by spectacle, but by sensation. The intention for this installation is to build something intricate and alive: lengths of fabric suspended in an immersive space, moving and free-flowing, responsive to currents of air and low frequencies.

I want the forms to breathe, fold, and unfurl, never fixed, never rigid. An environment that feels immersive yet gentle.

The material becomes a body that remembers, the installation is about reclaiming power within intimacy after gender-based violence and assault. Softness here is not fragility, i want an expression of delicacy and feeling. 

Touch is consensual and atmospheric rather than invasive. The flowing textiles suggest the body’s capacity to transform, to hold history without being defined by it.

I have created an installation which features textile and framed prints, using both digital and analogue photography. I have explored the techniques of abstraction with darkroom enlarger prints to be symbolistic with the female form.

Viewers to inhabit their own pace and their own breath, where something once fractured can feel intricate and living again, and free.
