My work explores visual complexities within my immediate environment, shifting between
straightforward photography and digital manipulation. I am fascinated by the way in which the place I
live in functions, and the constant changing appearance of my surroundings. My work often isolates
visual and spatial congestion within the built environment and creates hyper realistic views of my
immediate habitat. With mixed feelings of being a foreigner in both my chosen home and my birth home,
I view my surroundings with a conflicted gaze of familiar yet unknown.
“Summit” is a photography series that captures tops of high-rise buildings and landmarks, while
deconstructing them to their graphic elements such as shapes and colors. By doing so the work offers a
unique and minimalistic view of these landmarks, individually standing tall, separated from the urban
congestion, while towering over their surroundings as icons of modern life.
