Fluid Perception

Using a childhood toy that rolls endlessly, I explore emotional intuition and self-understanding in human relationships. The toy’s repetitive motion reflects how we revisit emotions and conversations often unconsciously until insight is reached. It becomes a metaphor for emotional cycles such as how we process, repress, or return to feelings over time.
Coloured water crystal bubbles represent different emotions. Their transparent, fluid quality mirrors how emotions shift, blur, and blend, depending on context and sensitivity.
Words are like these bubbles; they have never been just a surface. They carry tone, weight, and emotional residue. Understanding them requires more than intellect as it calls for emotional presence. Through this simple, sensory metaphor, I reflect on how relational awareness begins not in reaction, but in the subtle act of feeling deeply and listening again.
Veils of thought

In this work, I explore the interaction between fast and slow thinking. Fast thinking is instinctive quick, automatic, often shaped by intuition. Slow thinking is more reflective, emotional, and deliberate. Both are essential, and together they form the rhythm of how we make sense of ourselves and others.
Coloured water crystal bubbles represent different emotional states fluid, translucent, ever-changing. Each colour reflects a mood or reaction: a visual language for emotional nuance.
This piece reflects on how we navigate the world through cycles of instinct and reflection, emotion and logic and how meaning emerges in the tension between them.
Fractured Ripples

glass, hexagonal iron wire

In this work, I use circular glass forms as symbols of wholeness and perceived perfection. However, these forms are intentionally distorted, fractured, or left incomplete to reflect the complex and imperfect nature of human emotion and intuition. The disruption of the circle is not a flaw it is a more honest expression of the emotional landscape that we all navigate.
Each piece of glass is hand-cut by me, reinforcing the personal and imperfect nature of the process. These circular forms are suspended on a structure of hexagonal iron wire, a grid that introduces contrast rigid, structured, yet holding fragmented and delicate elements.
The choice of clear materials speaks to the paradox of emotional transparency. While the glass appears see-through, it resists true reflection. Just as we often believe we are being emotionally clear or understood, and yet the true self-perception remains elusive. No one is perfect, and clarity does not always equate to self-awareness.
