The digital prints are photographs of curated assemblages made from found objects of pacific kitsch adornments from home intertwined with natural and industrial elements. The artist has arranged these compositions inside large paint pales/buckets and photographed from above creating a striking series of surrealist Pacific art pieces. Each object is imbued with layers of symbolism and meaning during moments of darkness and prayer. These are then enhanced in the post-production phase by overly saturating colour and contrast for the work.


As visual narratives of symbolism and introspection within a Pacific surrealist framework, the Psalms of Lament series invites viewers to delve into realms of curiosity and wonder, exploring expressive abstract surrealism.
