"I see moods as images". In my mind, my own moods are often reflected in places or buildings where I have been. I have visualised this way of thinking through a series of photographic collages.

A mood is the feeling someone carries over a certain period of time, composed of a single emotion or a combination of emotions. In my collages, this complexity is  expressed through multiple layers of photographs, captured by me in various parts of the world. The collages explore themes such as animated desolation, rootedness, serenity and (in)vulnerability.

Within these photo collages, both the complexity and simplicity of moods emerge. I intentionally leave it to the viewers to interpret which mood each collage evokes, inviting a personal, emotional response.

These fine-art photo collages have been recognised internationally, winning multiple awards, including 2nd Place at PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris and Honorable Mention at IPA International Photography Award.
