Sonder: the profound realisation that each passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.
We have all existed, even if just for a moment, in the background of countless lives: at some point we have likely been the subject of someone else's sonder. I believe this is a worldly experience: everyone is intrigued by the idea of others. My body of work is inspired by the concept of ‘sonder’ and examines the idea that we are all connected. I chose oil paint for detail and depth, representing the complexity and richness of each individual's story.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gustave Courbet, Gustave Caillebotte, Alyssa Monks.
