Seasons : 1-4 Seasons: 1-4 illustrates seasonal changes in an abstract form. The work is a collaboration with nature, who leaves behind traces of light and dark, creating a silhouette of its seasonal cycle. Using camera-less and experimental techniques, the work traces time and leaves behind an imprint of sound and rhythm.

Mushroom Impressions 2025 @ The Hockney Gallery
  
The unfixed images, exposed to the gallery’s atmosphere allowed the spores to continue their natural processes of transformation directly on the paper. By embracing decay the work challenges the permanence of archives.
