Works      About      CV




Having to move my studio three times within a year due to redevelopment, and walking past a construction site every day, I was inspired to consider gentrification as a utopia of modern society. I developed images of construction sites and combined them with images of paradise-like places where people are making their dream homes. Construction sites are simultaneously real and unreal; despite their ubiquity and familiarity, their constant state of transition can evoke feelings of unease and chaos.
        Gentrification and the construction of new homes can allow people to realise their dream houses and try to make their locality more pleasant, improving old towns, reducing crime, and constructing a brand new urban space. As promising as this sounds, the construction process has negative as well as positive effects, such as disturbance, pollution, displacement through rent or price increases, and anxiety about unsustainable property prices and loss of homes.
