Eager to explore the potential of landscape art as a genre moving forward, I am particularly drawn to the overlooked and underappreciated elements of nature. Simultaneously, I strive to prompt conversations on pressing environmental issues which I believe are inherent to and inseparable from the concept of landscape today. Within this framework, I have enjoyed analysing the notion of perspective and its bearing on our appreciation of landscapes. Similarly, encountering the intersection between art and science marks a pivotal moment in my trajectory. As an artist who strives to highlight the minutiae in nature - those details not always visible or intentionally viewed - my discovery of the microscopic gaze empowered me to look at nature through a different lens, both literally and figuratively. Paradoxically, the technology that enables us to consider an alternative, macro-perspective of landscape (and, by extension, the environment) reveals the unprecedented scale and impact of human activity on the planet. This understanding has been instrumental in laying the foundations for my practice.
