Throughout my practice, I have used art as a means of dismantling and trying to understand an array of different concepts. The presented project titled ‘Connection // Disconnection’ is an exploration of the duality of a collective and connective experience associated with the ocean and the opposed isolating and disconnected experience of immersing oneself in nature in solitude. The use of participatory projects, representing the collective shared experiences versus the photography, a single participant medium, empathises these contracting ideas within the project.
