Exhibition photograph of ‘Memento Mori’ a mixed-media sculpture made up from empty and used white pill packets and white cotton, displayed on a vintage brown leather armchair. The sculpture is shown with the white vacuum-formed raised pill packets topside up, draped over an arm rest and resting onto the chair. The cotton strands fall from the back of sculpture, over the chair onto the ground. Displayed at a three-quarter angle with a white wall behind and placed on a dove grey floor.

Exhibition photograph of ‘Pandora’ a light sculpture made of a series of interconnected 7.5 x 7.5-inch wooden squares with jigsaw piece edges fitted together to form a hollow cube. Each square is laser cut with multiple kind, complimentary and compassionate words, for example, ‘delightful’, ‘charming’ and ‘supporting’ and then spray-painted gloss black. Placed within the centre of the top square of the cube is a brass light fitting which enables the hanging of the sculpture but also encases a warm orange light bulb within the cube. The light projects the words from the sculpture on the environment, distorting them and rendering them at times unreadable depending on the location, time of day and lighting.
