Acknowledgement of country
I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and work, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my deepest respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
Thank you for letting me be myself
In my current series "Thank you for letting me be myself", I am revisiting my 14-year photographic archive, through a late diagnosed neurodivergent lens. In doing so, I am recontextualising my archive with a new understanding of my identity, and examining my and my friends perceptions of community, identity, and belonging. I am also investigating how unmasking, a term used for embracing one’s neurodivergent traits, can be represented photographically. The result of this project will be a photobook made in collaboration with my friends, and exhibition prints from the book. The work celebrates friendship, unmasking, and reclaiming agency.
