In found animal skulls, eyes with eyelashes have been incorporated, gazing out with a sadness that reflects the vulnerability of non-human life. From these antlered figures, portraits were created in a manner reminiscent of human portraiture, emphasizing the significance and individuality of animal existence. Through these pieces, the work aims to evoke a sense of empathy and urgency for recognizing and capturing the fleeting nature of wildlife.

As an emigrant from the Global North who has moved to the Mediterranean, I've found myself navigating a complex balance. Coming from a place of economic and social privilege, I’m constantly aware of the risk that my presence may contribute to local gentrification—a reality where rising costs and an influx of outsiders can displace longstanding communities.
