This Project is a celebration of Fungal life & Mycelium.
Merlin Sheldrake, a biologist, mycologist and author, suggests we should celebrate Fungi the same way as Plant and animal life as mycology is a neglected Mega science. If we harness this microbial world, it can be a useful alliance to adapt to a damaged planet and re examine our bad habits. I want to make people think of fungi in a new way and show off what this clever organism can do.
The question arises of how we take a break when we feel under such obligation to work and meet our targets. 2020 also introduced the complexity of being unable to travel due to the worldwide pandemic. This unique situation as created a workforce without a break and without a desire to take one. This project poses the question of what a speculative future of holidaying could be, embracing the tools and devices around us to take adventures far beyond our office chairs. Time to take a digital break?
This project explores the spreading of wrongful conviction awareness. Termaine Hicks served 19 years in prison for a crime he did not commit and during that time wrote the poem ‘Just Another Day’. Each line is located in a different area of Bristol, with a QR code to view/hear the complete poem.
Social media is dominating our everyday lives acting as a catalyst around the stigma of bodies and fat phobia. This is a constant issue with social platforms taking down diverse images and the algorithms only promoting the ‘conventional’ bodies. Diet culture is essentially societies acceptance for eating disorders, they encourage starvation, restrictive nutrition and many other unhealthy habits. Magazines promote this behaviour and idolise it through celebrity statuses. You Can’t Have Your Cake & Eat It is a series of art directed photography that exposes the toxic traits within the diet culture through a satirical narrative
Through a series of four shorts, this project explores the concept of the ‘absurd’, specifically relating to objects and how we view them based on use. Is it possible to completely change a narrative of an object we either ignore or take for granted? These four pieces explore this question through short, bastardised adverts, that advertise products and ideas for something other than their intended purpose.
Knowledge traditionally orally passed down through generations is at risk of being forgotten. This is especially true for individuals living in a diaspora. The distance from elders means we are more likely to lose these traditions and knowledge. This project aims to preserve this knowledge in relation to my own culture to embrace who we are and not lose a part of ourselves. A specially printed Libyan traditional wrap dress, that tells a story of my own memories and connection to the Nafusa Mountains, leads to the knowledge of how to wrap it in the form of a video.
