‘Behind Our Eyes’
Progressed from
Hertford Regional College — UAL Level 2 Diploma in Art & Design (Fine Art)
Statement
This work features a series of photos that I have created to portray my identity.
Working with my daughter has allowed me to capture photos that an audience would not normally see through mine and my daughter’s eyes. I wanted to capture different emotions when photographing, conveying what motherhood is like.
I decided to shoot these images in black & white to bring out the details and emotions emphasising the a serious nature of the work.

‘Untitled’
Progressed from
Chauncy School — GCSE
Statement
This body of work conveys a disconnect between relationships and substances. I used a mix of film and digital photography to create an effect that replicates a visual representation of how I felt during a past time. I have taken from personal experiences and memories to create work relating to the theme of identity, helping me gain a deeper understanding of myself when reflecting on the past.

‘Therapy in Nature’
Progressed from
Chauncy School — GCSE
Statement
These images are showcasing how identity can consist of many different aspects. A part of my identity is how I use the outside world as therapy. This work shows the tranquillity and therapeutic aspects of the countryside around me that I visit regularly. I tend to go on walks around this area when I feel stressed and anxious, the wide-open spaces reduce the feeling of the world closing in. I captured the setting along with particular details that I tend to look at to highlight the healing properties of nature.

‘A Blurred Consciousness’’
Progressed from
The Sele School — GCSE
Statement
The paired photographs act as a representation of the personal experience of living with epilepsy. This was from my first seizure to the present day. They aim to visualise both the physical and mental battle with an unseen condition. Using slow shutter speeds, the photographs are obscured and result in graphic and indistinctive scenes that depict the disorderly reality of epilepsy. One image demonstrates acceptance and compassion, whereas the other displays opposition and hatred.

‘Dogs & Diversity’
Progressed from
Chace Community School — GCSE
Statement
During the difficulty of the past 2 years, people are finding themselves struggling in more ways than one. Fortunately, some have their pets to turn to. These people I have photographed are all from different walks of life, but they all connect under the identity & diversity of being dog owners. People have their own special relationships and interactions with their dogs, be that through training, competition, or love. These dogs will be there for their owners, no matter what.

‘Hiding Faces’
Progressed from
The John Warner School — GCSE
Statement
My work relates to the theme of ‘identity and diversity’. The photographs were created with the idea of a lack of identity in mind. I came up with the idea to conceal and hide people’s appearance. This was to signify a common feeling when people truly believe they don’t have an identity. If you’re experiencing an identity crisis, you may be questioning your sense of self. This can often occur due to big changes or stressors in life, or due to factors such as age or advancement from a certain stage such as, school, work, or childhood. I want my images to connected to an audience that may be feel the same way.

‘Gen Z 4Ever’
Progressed from
North Hertfordshire College – Level 2 Diploma Art & Design
Statement
This project is an exploration of the theme ‘Identity and Diversity’. My initial concept included research into the mind of those who aren’t seen as ‘fit to society’s standards,’ those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, have disabilities, etc. Looking at inspiring artists such as Sarah Deragon LGBTQ portraiture and Andreea Robescu mixed media illustrated photography influenced my own ideas and development. I wanted to create images involving members from my generation showcasing the difference compared to society’s norms.
