Newcastle Club Foundation Art Prize 2025
Grateful to have my photograph recognised as a semi-finalist in the Newcastle Club Foundation Art Prize 2025. This work is about intersections—of place, memory, and light—where stories of the past and present continue to meet.

A photograph usually freezes a unique moment. In some of my work, I encapsulate multiple moments - the fragments of what I see and experience - in a single frame. The result is a picture that compresses my observations into a blend of motion and emotion. With each lens opening, I strive to witness familiar places in a way that is uniquely my own.
