IMPRESSIONS OF SPAIN [2023]
Photography, Printmaking. 

Impressions of Spain is my first personal work, a homage to 19-year-old Federico García Lorca’s Impresiones y paisajes. The series
materialises as a bridging gap between my youth and adulthood. It is a personal memory and document of my journey. Growing up partly in Andalucia, I had many relationships marked by a language barrier. Without a conceptual framework, I intend for the images to communicate my feeling.

Six works displayed in London Gallery West in January, 2024.
