“The world is full of painful stories. Sometimes it seems as though there aren't any other kind and yet I found myself thinking how beautiful that glint of water was through the trees.” — Octavia Butler
A Window Into is a nod to the term “window into the soul”, and an invitation to look inward. The windows and arches in these pieces are used to symbolise a transition between inner and outer world. The dark forests - a place to stand and gaze into the unknown. The birds in flight, the light, the shadows - change, the dance between joy and pain, and the quiet of memory and dreams.
I hope that my work serves as an ode to the power of books and stories, of self-exploration, and connection to the world.
