Particulate Matter - Exhibition

Particulate Matter @14 Gallery, Collingwood, Victoria, Australia

It is truly an honour to present this exhibition in such a compelling setting.

Many thanks to all who have visited and supported me throughout this journey leading up to my first solo photography exhibition. Through the fast-moving rhythm of daily life and documenting this topic, I wanted to dedicate time and take pause on what I had discovered.

Throughout the two-year process of research and production, I encountered numerous challenges that demanded perseverance and innovation. 

My primary objective with this series is to raise awareness about the crucial ecological indicator: air.

Through various experimentation, partaking in creative individual and group workshops, as well as exploring diverse forms of visual communication, I embarked on a project that aims to depict the complex and fragile environment we inhabit, contrasting it against the clean crisp walls of the contemporary @14 Gallery space as a juxtaposition and reflection of the world we all deserve to thrive in.

Currently, the primary areas of focus addressing these matters are twofold: ensuring accurate global air quality data, and promoting the adoption of sustainable practices and decision-making to update daily consumption habits.
