This piece represents the slow evolution of life and identity, shaped by childhood echoes that settle deep over time. It marks a period of personal growth and learning to sit with what’s shaped me, rather than resist it. This work was greatly influenced by my love of old graveyards—especially the overgrown, post apocalyptic stillness of places like Highgate Cemetery and London’s other Magnificent Seven. They are spaces full of lost stories we can only guess at.
