Running Shoes

Walking piece details

Running Shoes (2021) is a response to the current discourse around the safety of women. This issue was brought to the forefront on the 3rd of March 2021 when Sarah Everard was murdered and raped on her walk home. The murder of this young woman made people finally listen mostly because of the fact that she did everything in her power to remain safe. She was wearing gym clothes and running shoes.

The piece presents the spoken testimonies of a group of students from Glasgow that detail how unsafe they feel simply walking down the street.

Memory corrosion

Newburgh, NY, USA

The first canvas captures the initial stages of memory corrosion, where fragmented recollections intertwine with the act of walking. Here, blurred images and disjointed pathways symbolize the fleeting nature of memory as one navigates through the labyrinth of the mind. In the second canvas, wandering takes center stage as memories meander through subconscious landscapes. Tangled brushstrokes and obscured landmarks evoke the sensation of drifting aimlessly, mirroring the unpredictable nature of memory recall. The final canvas embodies letting go as memories dissolve into ethereal landscapes of abstraction. Fading colors and fading contours signify the gradual release of attachment to the past, allowing space for new experiences and narratives to emerge.
