Amidst the anxieties of the future that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disillusioned, my work aims to ground me in the present whilst also capturing a moment in time that will serve as a memory of the past. Reflection on the past serves as a guide, informing present actions and future choices as well as evidence for hope. Looking back on past and current revolutionary movements inspires and keeps me hopeful that through collective action there can be an alternative - that a different world is possible.
