Since graduating Cum Laude from the Media and Culture department of the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2016, I have continued to pursue my interest in the research and representation of identity. Now a student at the Royal College of Art where I am largely exploring and critiquing my/our shared experiences of contemporary (sub)cultures.
Identity, belonging and freedom are all themes that reappear throughout my work, which ultimately leads me to uncovering and addressing ’opposing’ states of rejection, detachment and disorientation.
Having a long-held fascination for different forms of expression, I have always been motivated to experience the world through different perspectives. By studying Film, Law, English and Psychology A-levels before my Bachelor I developed an interest in the way different topics overlap, interweave, compliment and contradict each other.
I believe that the best way to understand and critique those differences is to experience them first-hand, since understanding the context of a subject is the only way to dive deeper and obtain meaningful insights. My work mainly manifests through digital and print-media, photography, performance, video and fashion.
