I'm Fine 

I’m Fine comprises two body-referential sculptural forms, one made from cotton voile and the other from porcelain. Together they explore ideas of concealment, fragility, and internalised emotional states.
 

The work was originally exhibited during my MA show within a white gallery setting. After the exhibition closed, I wanted to photograph the pieces in an environment that felt more aligned with the emotional tone of the work. With the help of filmmaker and photographer Michael Sides, the pieces were suspended and photographed at night on the beach at Langland Bay in Swansea.
 

Lit from within and moving against the darkness of the shoreline, the forms were photographed as waves broke along the shore. The setting allowed the textures, tensions, and imperfections of each piece to become more visible, shifting the work away from a sterile gallery context and into something more atmospheric and uncertain.

In this setting the pieces read as artefacts or presences within the landscape, referencing the human body without directly representing it.
