Artist Statement

My practice explores the intersections of identity, belonging, and visibility, often through the lens of hidden disability and neurodivergence. Drawing on photography, textiles and installation, I create works that transform personal experiences of disconnection and resilience into collective symbols of agency.

Flags, banners, and standards recur in my work as both medium and metaphor — referencing their historical role in conflict and protest, while reimagining them as carriers of intimate narratives and overlooked identities. By printing photographs onto fabric and working with textiles, I interrogate the tension between what is seen and what remains concealed, between the public declaration and the private struggle.

My practice is grounded in lived experience: of autism, of navigating mental health, of working alongside communities to amplify silenced voices. This foundation drives my exploration of how art can act as both a personal process of survival and a shared space of recognition. Through my work, I seek to challenge conventions of conformity and belonging, while offering alternative ways of seeing and being seen.
