Inspired by Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, "The Earth Is Not An Echo" explores the permanence of the soul and our place within time.
​
The series rejects the idea of life as a hollow reflection, instead asserting the validity of the present. Using overlapping, collage-like compositions, these images move beyond a static "moment" to capture the fluid mood of a location.
​
These layers serve as a visual metaphor for memory; rather than a sharp snapshot, they reflect how the mind reconstructs a place through shifting light and emotion. By deconstructing the landscape, the work visualises the intersection of the physical world and the immortal self—reminding us that our existence is deliberate, significant, and deeply rooted in the "now."
Collage
The Usurian Temple Series transforms familiar bank logos from the 2008 financial crash into fragmented, ceremonial collages. Once symbols of stability and trust, these emblems are reassembled as modern ruins, reflecting on value, belief, and collapse.
​
By isolating and overlaying corporate icons, the works become temples not to gods, but to fiscal power — hieroglyphs of an era when faith in financial institutions faltered. Each collage captures a moment of systemic fragility, turning familiar branding into a meditation on trust, power, and the myths we build around them.
