The exploration of my practice has strongly developed through the use of 3D software and progressed towards the creation of digital reproductions taken from my natural surroundings. My work is based around themes of nature and fictional environments portrayed through sound, neon and video pieces. By developing familiar settings, I aim to present simulated moments that highlight ongoing concerns that may impact the future of our temporality.
