What does it mean to be human? This question lies at the centre of my work. As an interdisciplinary artist working with film and scripts, I explore themes of mental health, identity and intergenerational trauma, using autobiography and fiction.
Through scripts, I develop female characters in psychologically complex states, focusing on the stigmas surrounding women’s mental health in Western culture.
With a background in psychology, I borrow narrative methods developed in therapeutic settings, such as reenactment and scripted dialogues. I am especially interested in the female psyche – the foundation of psychological theory – and how women’s lived experiences have shaped, yet often marginalised, the field of mental health.
What lies beneath the surface of our personalities? How does trauma materialise and evolve? And where do we draw the line between illness and health? Are these categories truly helpful? By engaging with these questions, my practice seeks to challenge conventional narratives and make space for more nuanced understandings of psychological experience.
