Multiple locks and when unlocked you can enter multiple realities where some will people never return.

A lock guarding a distorted reality.

If you try to unlock this gate, the lock shakes in fear warning the owner of this guarded reality.

Multiple branches are resembled as multiple pathways you can take leading to more different types of realities.

# data[].attributes.body
Disconnected from the present is like a twisted plastic fence, plastic intertwining with each other forming  shapes and patterns just like how twisted and loose being in another reality can be, your journey path forming a shape and pattern.

# data[].attributes.body
Being disconnected from reality is abstract train ride, riding far away leading to death and suffering if you don't cope with it.

# data[].attributes.body
You tend to float and drift in your own reality with barely any control, some may even fade a way within this disconnection.

# data[].attributes.body
Your consciousness disappear from existence slowly through-out your journey.

# data[].attributes.body
If you don't prevent yourself from disconnecting your existance being erased away will be inevitable like a dead tree decaying.

# data[].attributes.body
When you walk forwards during your journey the path behind you fades away.

# data[].attributes.body
Once the path fades away there will be no traces left behind. You can never return. You will stop at a dead end and stay where you are for eternity. Forgotten. Nothing. No-one.

# data[].attributes.body
The lock and door to your reality fades away meaning that returning is impossible. You will no longer cease to exist.

These images are shot using the Mamiya RB67 film camera, medium format. 140mm Lens and 6x7 aspect ratio.

These images are developed and processed in the photographic darkroom and the size of all of these images are 928mm (Width) by 753mm (Length).

These images come with a poem I made, that goes with the images.

This is a black and white photograph that has been processed in the darkroom. I used a Nikon FM2 to shoot these images for the diptych. After the many attempts of shooting, these are my favourite 2 that fits together. These images are a diptych inspired my a significant and impactful dream I experienced, as soon as I woke up from the dream I had, I cried my eyes out. I wanted to remember this dream, so I documented it into photographs. The dream I had was of a girl beside me on a swing, smiling, holding my hands whilst fading away, scattered into pieces.

My intention was to document and also visually interpret my dreams theme of solitude, abandonment, mourn, nostalgia and emptiness. I also wanted to illustrate the passage of time through these images. These images captures an empty playground, I particularly focused on the motion of swings, since I wanted to evoke the sense of stillness and introspection. The soft focus for these images were deliberately done to enhance the dreamlike quality of the image, which causes to create a contemplative atmosphere. Through this project, I aimed to explore the emotional impact of memories.

This image is a projector mapping installation of my cityscape images. This cityscape with towering buildings and lit up streets are projected onto multiple surfaces. I wanted my images to evoke a sense of life, capturing the essence of night time cities. The distortion and blurriness of this image is intentional, I wanted to emphasize the temporary and fragmented nature of city life. The lack of focus I added makes the experience surreal, making the viewers question themselves about the scene, encouraging them to engage more with the space in a more imaginative way. I also wanted the blurriness to reflect the fleeting moments and fast pace of urban environments, where everything is always in motion and nothing is fully clear.

This image is shot in my kitchen and is a picture of my mother and sister. This is a black and white image inspired by Carrie Mae Weems "The Kitchen Table Series"

My intention was to implement the techniques she used into my own work, especially her use of intimate and domestic settings to explore deeper narratives. By using these elements into my own work I aimed to develop my skills in capturing the human experience through conceptual photography. This project allowed me to experiment with composition, lighting and also the subtle emotions of photographing people in familiar environments.

This photograph is the best image out of the Barbican series I created.

This photograph has a very strong contrast of black and white. This photograph is part of a project aimed at conveying a sense of ominous foreboding. I intentionally captured this building at a low angle, because I wanted it to dominate the frame till the point that it makes my viewer feel like the building is watching over them, creating an oppressive atmosphere. The clouded sky intensifies the feeling of unease the sharp focus of the shapes and patterns of the building was used to make my image even more dominating.

My intention was to explore the relationship between urban landscapes and the emotions they can evoke. Through this project, I wanted to reflect the on the massive structures that make us people feel small and vulnerable, highlighting the tension between the ambitions of humans and the overwhelming size of our creations.

This narrative photo essay is a deeply personal project based on the story of a dear friend who suffered from dissociative amnesia. I felt very interested in capturing her perspective, thoughts and feelings and journey through a series of photographs. I wanted to manifest her memories and emotions she went through daily into photographs. After a lot of sensitive conversations about whether I could create artwork that reflected her journey, we both agreed to collaborate on this project. My role was to photograph her perspective, documenting her journey as she shared the words to accompany each image. We both wanted the text and images to flow together like a story unfolding.

Out of respect for her wishes, I promised not to credit her by name in this work. She preferred to stay unknown and I respected that. Whilst creating this artwork, we made very happy and unforgettable moments, we made so many memories together during this time. However, just as we were about to complete this project, she passed away due to suicide. Her loss hit me hard, and I was filled with regret and sadness, I also had to finish the project without her.

At first, I hesitated to share this work, since it is a very personal project and it felt too raw. However after a lot of deep reflection, I realized that her story deserves to be told. Through this artwork, I want to keep her memory alive and let her existence be felt. This essay for me is more than just a project, its a tribute to her life and the behind closed doors struggles she faced.

This image is a black and white photograph I captured using the zoom blur technique. I was experimenting with different camera techniques during this shoot, and this image is my favorite of the all the images I took. I wanted to create a sense of motion and speed, intentionally making the photograph disorienting to emphasize a surreal feeling, as if I’m being drawn into a dream.

My intention was to convey a sense of chaos and an altered perception of reality. Through this image, I wanted my viewers to feel as if they are being pulled into another world.

This still life project is called "Inevitabilis" which in Latin it means Inevitable. This project was inspired by "Memento Mori" still life, which resonates with me.

I intentionally limited myself to only using items I had at home to challenge my thinking and composition skills. Every subject in the composition was chosen with purpose. The music sheet in the background symbolises a journey that inevitably ends, as all pieces of music do. The drawing is a coping mechanism I relied on in the past, especially in stressful situations. The drawing on the open page was drawn 8 years ago when I was feeling suicidal. The liquid in the wine glass represents human life. For the backdrop used my mat black portfolio bag, I wanted to black to emphasise feeling of darkness and death. The lighting I used was from a desk lamp, I used the light to help represent more life. I also used red coloured juice in the wine glass to evoke the appearance of blood. Since I made myself limitations, I didn't allow myself to go out and buy ingredients to make fake blood, sticking strictly to the limitations I set for this project. In this work I wanted to illustrate life and death, and that death is inevitable.

In this project, I created and captured a crime scene, illustrating the massacre of a family from the perspective of both a witness and a CSI photographer.

I'm fascinated by the malice and ruthlessness of criminals. Although being driven by selfishness and greed, many criminals believe they are committing justice through their crimes, whether it’s theft or mass murder. Criminals come from diverse backgrounds and are from all ages, which adds complexity to their actions.

My intention with this project is to illustrate the depths of human immorality. Humans can be far more terrifying than the concept of death itself. I'm very interested by how killers present their crimes, the creativity they exhibit in their methods of killing, and the ways they manipulate evidence to make it appear as like the victim committed suicide. Through this project, I aim to explore what I refer to as "the art of killing."

As soon as the audience enters, they will be welcomed with a brutally murdered piece of art (a sculpture) staged in a bathroom. Disembodied mannequin parts, arms, legs and torsos are scattered throughout the scene, with blood splattered across the walls and mannequins. Thick pools of fake blood and various types of blood splatters are created using techniques like spraying, flicking, and whipping the paintbrush. I did this to add to the gory atmosphere. The scene is dimly lit by LED lighting, I implemented the use of camera flash since it adds an eerie effect as the gruesome scene flashes quickly and suddenly at the audience whenever I press the shutter.

In this project, the audience witnesses me performing a one hour session as a CSI photographer, documenting the crime scene. I exhibited and performed this project in an abandoned bathroom within a college building.

My goal is also for the audience to immerse themselves in the perspective of a crime that has occurred. I'm interested in illustrating the complexity of crime scene investigation and how impactful it can be for the forensic photographer.

This project was exhibited in the Barge house, London.

I aimed to create a thoughtful display that blends images with words. The plan includes three large images, each measuring 928mm by 753mm, with a central poem print sized at 765mm by 619mm. I left 3mm gaps between each piece to ensure that each has its own space while maintaining harmony. The theme of chaos is central to this exhibition plan. The large images, with their abstract and blurred nature, evoke a sense of disorder and unpredictability. Inviting my viewers to interpret the chaos within. Placing the poem print in the center, slightly taller than the images, draws attention to the words of my poem, linking the visual images on either side. The poem itself explores themes of chaos, describing its beauty and complexity, is like a narrative thread that ties the entire exhibition together. The placement of the poem ensures it complements rather than competes with the images, emphasizing the concept of finding order within chaos.

In these images, I aimed to illustrate chaos, since it fits with the theme of my poem. To enhance the chaotic element in my images, I used multiple camera and composition techniques to my advantage, such as camera blur, camera shake, and the use of textures and patterns. I also intentionally played with overexposure and underexposure to further convey the sense of disorder.

For this project, my intention was to produce images that capture the essence of chaos with their unpredictable patterns and textures. They remind me of the beauty and complexity found in chaos, where order and disorder coexist in a constantly shifting balance. These di-bonded images accurately convey my poem and my intentions.

This timelapse captures Albert bridge over the course of 5 hours, from 2:00pm to 7:00pm. My intention was to explore the passage of time visually through the interplay of light and shadow as the sun moves across the sky. The moving shadows and the gradual change in the lighting from the sun, I wanted to illustrate the effects of time on manmade structures.
