"I am interested in ways of questioning what is considered ephemeral, through the use of disposable objects and materials. I set out to explore the temporality of an object, as well as the ephemeral moment and how this can be prolonged. The 'everyday' is a key feature in my work and I aim to elevate the beauty which often goes unnoticed
