CV

A recent Fine Arts graduate eager to grow within cultural projects and audience engagement. My creative practice is community-driven, environmentally conscious, and rooted in hands-on, collaborative learning. My installation encourages hands-on play, allowing viewers to connect with it through touch. I combine repurposed materials with digitally designed objects, leading to traditional production processes such as press-moulding and crochet. My work is driven by a passion for bird conservation and exploring human environmental impact.
