Vietnam Passing
This book, is a visual narrative of my experience in a country where the traces of its colonial past are hard to escape. set alongside the photographs, there are excerpts from a 1963 copy of Life Magazine recounting moments from the war.On each page, there is a timeline set between three dates - the date of the Vietnam War, followed by
my date of birth, ending with the date of entry into Vietnam. The timeline set alongside 35mm black and white photographs is meant to emphasise the significance of time. Using black and white 35mm film makes the timeline of the photographs unclear, which points to the nebulous qualities of history itself.
Women’s Humour
Documentary photography project about women working in the uk comedy scene. During this project I wanted to understand how humour had been used as a tool to unify and liberate women within a predominantly male-dominated industry.
To do this, I interviewed and photographed four female stand-up comedians working in the UK. From their stories, I discovered how powerful stand-up comedy had been in each of their lives, both as a point of expression and rebellion.
Sexting
Still life photography of flowers; expressing the sexual connotation of sex text messages that I collected from students at the royal college of art. Flowers carry with them, feelings of
sexuality, love, life and death. I wanted to experiment with the different ways of visualizing these emotions by manipulating
colour
and light to reflect various moods and tones.
