In the raw, vast expanse of Central Australia, I find a reflection of my own internal landscape.
The land is a mirror. Barren, unrelenting yet deeply beautiful. This work is a six-month visual
manifestation of my emotions. The terrain serves as a language communicating what words
alone cannot. Every mark and every form are an attempt to translate the weight of time and
experience into something tangible.
The work does not seek to tame or soften myself, instead, it embraces its brutality and beauty. That tension expresses the complexities of my inner world. Just as the land is both harsh and beautiful, so too are the emotions that drive us. Formless, intense, yet deeply real. I've used landscape as a language to express the quiet moments of introspection and the loud moments of change. The colours, textures, and forms in my work pulse with energy to offer a visceral connection to the rawness and depth of myself.
Painting is therapy. I find regulation. A place where my psyche converges into something unspoken. What words cannot describe. The work speaks about the means to be both isolated and expansive in the same breath. This is my journey, painted through the lens of Central Australia. Land and emotion converge making my inner landscape visible, not just as a reflection of where I've been, but as a map of where I am heading.
