Estrangement

In a realistic world there are the beautiful and equally there is the ugly, both coexisting with each other, to define and appreciate the opposed. But in the strange world of Acacia, only beautiful creatures inhabit it, and everything always remains perfectly beautiful. In order to sustain this there are regulators, working out of sight from the civilians.


This silent zine tells the story of an estranged girl.

Witch

These two paintings were a response to an article based on The Pendle Witch Trials. I approached these paintings with the idea to portray the women as they were accused. Visually communicating the crimes they were accused of by adding the mystical elements to the paintings, rather than portraying them as victims of persecution.
