Led by intentions of questioning, Outlines (2024) is an introspective enquiry into the self. Uneasy with my identity and sense of place in my environment, the series is both a work of fiction and an investigation into how we potentially formulate an understanding of the detached self.

Alluding to the subconscious, the work centres attention on restless moments of isolation and lack of connection that can be experienced by both people and environment. Evolving as a means to understand the inexplainable feelings I was experiencing at the time, I used visual imagery to articulate these struggles. The resulting series follows a journey of reflection and acts as a body of work that invites commentary on the existential state of the world we currently live in, the unknown futures caused by the continuous changes and state of fear surrounding us.

The images depict fragments of dreams and nightmares, contemplating the known and unknown, rearranging visual perceptions of what is real. Outlines introduces a visual inquiry into how things can appear familiar but uncanny when one starts to question identity and place.
