Today’s work emerged from a spontaneous dialogue with nature—a moment of playful co-creation that unfolded during a walk. I encountered a striking star-shaped plant whose form immediately transported me to an imagined underwater world. What began as a quiet observation soon transformed into an experimental installation, merging natural elements with found objects made of recycled plastic.

By arranging these materials together, I sought to blur the lines between land and sea, plant and creature, reality and illusion. The installation invites viewers to pause and question what they see, to engage with the act of looking more closely, and to consider the hidden potential of overlooked or discarded materials.
At its core, this work celebrates play as a tool for artistic and emotional wellbeing. Play allows us to shift perspective, reimagine our surroundings, and reconnect with the natural world in ways that are both joyful and restorative. Through playful experimentation, we open ourselves to new stories, new meanings, and new forms of connection.
This piece is a reminder that creativity does not always need to be planned or polished—sometimes, it simply needs space to emerge. And when we give ourselves that space, even briefly, we find ourselves more alive to the world around us.
I was absolutely thrilled to be part of the Earth Week Opening Ceremony at Central Saint Martins and across all the colleges of University of the Arts London (UAL). The week-long celebration, running from April 22 to 25 2025, was a vibrant showcase of creative environmental action, uniting students, staff, alumni, and partners in a shared commitment to climate justice and sustainability.

Attending with my friend Zillah from the Sustainability Alumni Network, we were joined by many like-minded individuals. Together, we engaged in enriching conversations, sharing stories and examples from our practices, work, and creative ideas. These interactions sparked potential collaborations and the creation of new hashtags, fostering a sense of community and collective purpose.
A highlight of the event was showcasing our collaborative public art project, Wind Angle. This installation invited participants to reflect on the invisible forces of nature and our interconnectedness with the environment. It was inspiring to see how art can serve as a catalyst for dialogue and action on pressing ecological issues.
The Climate Emergency Network played a pivotal role in organizing the week’s events, including exhibitions, workshops, and performances that emphasized the importance of integrating climate and environmental justice into every student’s educational journey. From plant-based canteen takeovers to participatory workshops, the activities underscored UAL’s commitment to fostering a culture of care and sustainability.

Being part of this dynamic and inspiring community reaffirmed my belief in the power of collective creativity to drive meaningful change. I’m excited about the collaborations initiated during Earth Week and look forward to continuing this vital work with my peers.

BASS TONE REGENERATION—an unforgettable evening marking Earth Week 2025 at @unioftheartslondon UAL. Held at Platform Bar, it featured a surrealist sound and light installation curated by the incredible Linett Kamala, with meditative dub sets by Linett and Omi of LIN KAM ART, and a powerful performance by Becky Lyons.
I was honoured to be part of this event 🟢 as a committee member of the Sustainability Alumni Network. Grateful to Maria from the Network office for the opportunity, and so glad to have shared this experience with Zillah. We loved every moment of the collaboration—witnessing storytelling unfold through sound, art, and genuine connection.
A special night that brought together diverse voices, creative energies, and new perspectives.
