As a multi-disciplinary artist, much of my work is inspired by the ever-evolving trials and tribulations of what is to be human, with key themes such as mental health and identity being integral to my artwork. I aim to provoke viewers to leave with a deeper emotional connection to themselves, looking within. I explore these ideas in my practice through digital illustration, focusing on condensing these complex subject matters in a balanced way through animation and my keen passion for 3D illustrations. This can be seen in my project, ‘The Fretful Fish of Worrywater Bay’, a playful 3D illustrative children’s book that follows a fish learning to stand up to his anxieties and face the tide, teaching children that it is okay to worry and that we can all be brave.
Furthermore, I believe that in creativity, there is the power to evoke emotion and share a part of yourself that may have stayed hidden without that outlet, which can be seen in my animation ‘The Shape of Loneliness’, an interview with my 17-year-old brother on what loneliness is to him. I aimed to create something deeply personal but with a message many could relate to, aided by visuals that help balance out such a moving topic. What is the shape of loneliness to you?
