The Seed: Biophilic Bench Design Studies by Jumana Hamdani and Sepa Sama. Developed through the Land Arc project at Kivik Art Centre and Lund University, the work is now included in Rumble60 at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design. It explores sitting, walking, landscape, public space, and artistic research.

Shattered Topography: A Monument to Waste — photographic documentation of a public installation at Martin Place during Climate Action Week Sydney. Commissioned through UNSW, the work records a temporary urban intervention constructed from discarded construction material, reflecting on material cycles, waste, and climate responsibility within the everyday space of the city.

This image forms part of my ongoing practice connecting walking, urban observation, and photography as artistic research in public space.

Barrett House Residency — Final Exhibition

As my residency at Barrett House Studios comes to a close, these final days gather the work that has grown from walking, now turning into film, light, and sound. During the residency I worked toward composing a film, exploring a new language in filmmaking.

Presented as the final exhibition at Barrett House Studios in Randwick, Sydney, the project continues a practice where walking, observation, and artistic research unfold through moving image and the experience of place.
