Feature:
'I didn't know they closed' 2025, investigates the disorienting discovery of a beloved local restaurant's closure through faux-naive figurative painting. Using distorted proportions and bold colours, the work transforms this mundane yet jarring moment into meditation on contemporary uncertainty. Point-of-view perspective situates viewers within the scene, deploying ambiguity to invite personal recognition of similar losses within our increasingly unstable shared environments.
