In my latest project, Congruence (2023 ongoing), I have been exploring the existence of my analogue photography in the modern world. Contemplating the longevity of my images being ‘stuck’ within the constraints of the frame and the sculptural properties of my brutalist-inspired images, I analyze a photograph as a 3D object, its potential to exist as such. I then proceed to liberate it through interdisciplinary methods ranging from Fine Art processes like painting and sculpture to 3D modelling and printing, and working with concrete.
Through developing knowledge of sculpture and exploration of materials, I want to expand my concept of photography as an object/sculpture, taking on various forms, some as interactive art, to reach the audience who can’t experience art in the usual ways and allow the viewer not just to be an observer but to be an active contributor.
The interactivity of art, breaking boundaries between the viewer and the art, is essential to me, as through my art, I attempt to break the learned behavior of not touching and not physically interacting with art.

Interactive perspex sculpture mounted on a steel sheet with magnets at the back of each piece (A2)
Drawing inspiration from my analogue photography, I utilise an image shot in Stockport as a base for a laser-cut Perspex sculpture.
Installed with magnets and mounted on a steel sheet, I designed the sculpture to be an interactive work, allowing viewers to move the elements around and engage in playful deconstruction and reconstruction of the image.
