These compositions are part of a growing body of work of mine inspired by "A Sixth Part of the World" a film from 1926. My series explores common cultural approaches to handling analog photography, to my early experiences of learning at the ICP in NY, as well as opening new doors for audiences to reflect on analog photography during our current Industrial Revolution. I am pioneering a unique multiple exposure technique in analog photography, where emotional compositions emerge as I develop my films. Looking characterised by the private memories of the eyes who explore my pictures.

I am pioneering a unique multiple exposure technique in analog photography, where emotional compositions emerge as I develop my films. My heuristic methods are inspired by insights in Assembly Theory and embrace Flânerie as a physical embodiment to our human condition. Specifically, my interests are on framing bridges between our Human Vision together with Machine Vision. Our machines are connected to our built world environments involving complex problem solving processes that impact us, can extend our perceptions, impress new understandings and curated task iterations.
