Personal Work
Project 1 Hollow CanopyAcademic/Personal Photography Project
Explored the concept of selective logging and the existential role of trees within forests. This project involved deep thematic research and creative photography to convey the intricate relationship between life, death, and deforestation. It showcased my ability to blend environmental awareness with artistic expression, highlighting my thematic photography and visual storytelling skills.






Project 2Lens of SolaceAcademic/Personal Photography Project
The project: The photography project to explore photography overcame my depression a few years ago. I felt connected with the movie 'Perfect Days’ because of how the character finds beauty in the little things in life—reflecting the relationship between me and photography. Photography became my refuge, allowing me to discover the peace of nature and capture moments of peace and connection. It changed my perspective on life by using the camera, helping me appreciate the simplicity of things and cultivate a more positive outlook.

Project 3 Vacant ReminenceAcademic/Personal Photography Project


Memories are fragile, shifting over time, often blurring the line between what is remembered and what is forgotten. Photography is commonly seen as a tool for preservation, yet it does not store memories—it merely triggers them, leaving space for interpretation, distortion, and loss. This project examines the gaps between lived experience and photographic documentation, reflecting on the moments that remain vivid despite never being recorded and those that exist in images but feel distant or unrecognisable. Combining personal and archival photographs explores how family history is pieced together, reimagined, or lost entirely. In doing so, it questions whether photography preserves the past or constructs new, fragmented realities shaped by time and perception.

Project 4Academic/Personal Photography Project
This photographic series examines how urban design subtly influences human behaviour through patterns, structure, and control. The grids, lines, and rigid designs within cityscapes serve a purpose beyond functionality—they quietly direct our movements, routines, and perceptions. Referencing concepts like Foucault’s panopticon, the series depicts the city as an arena of silent surveillance and discipline, where order persists without visible enforcement. Employing stark black-and-white imagery, these photographs contrast the enforced structure and subtle acts of resistance. Cracked pavements, damaged signs, and altered surfaces disrupt the visual order, uncovering moments of defiance and decay amid regulated spaces. These visual contrasts provoke thought: To what extent do our surroundings influence our daily behaviour? And how can we find spaces to resist?

Ultimately, this series serves as a visual exploration of power, control, and resistance in daily urban life—prompting viewers to rethink the seemingly ordinary environments we occupy as arenas of quiet conflict and human complexity agency.
