‘My work explores the creative potential of everyday objects and the stories they hold, drawing attention to the overlooked and rethinking the ordinary. Using wallpaper and trompe l’oeil techniques, I capture fleeting moments of daily life and present them in visually engaging, immersive ways that alter how we see and value familiar surroundings, examining the relationship between people and place’.
