From the Artist…
‘Tracing back to a photograph I took in January 2024, a moment suspended between the person I was and the person I was struggling to become, moving through a quiet, internal kind of searching. Chinaman's Hat (Port Phillip), 2024, captures the little day-to-day moments that often go unnoticed.
The scene itself is ordinary: snorkel masks drying after a swim with seals in Port Phillip Bay, bright plastic catching the sun. But for me, it has become a symbol of a before. This work becomes a way of acknowledging both the vulnerability of that period and the pain, suffering, and resilience that followed. It is a quiet reminder that even in the midst of uncertainty, there are fragments of life worth reclaiming, worth holding, worth painting back into presence.’
