“The Seneca phrase “we are waves of the same sea” informs a recurring theme and motif; addressing inequality and division and translating it into an imagining of a better world. Some might call this naive, but I prefer words like joyful, hopeful and positive(ful). The ‘WE’ series celebrates unity in difference; a reaction to increasingly tumultuous times when divisions between race, religion, gender and wealth are being exploited and polarised. Each one-off screen print is an optimistic celebration of individualism.”
