When planning for my body of work, the concepts of being unapologetically yourself and exploring a sense of self piqued my interest. This led to concepts of letting my inner madness, playfulness and peacefulness shine through. As an avid musical theatre and drama performer, I used my theatrical skills in the composition, and in considering tableaux and gesture. Time management and consistency were vital as the nine characters required nine separate photoshoots and thousands of photos. My intention is that the work makes you smile. Reminds you of all the different versions of you and how they are all special.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci, The Last Supper.
