About the artist

Giving a chaotic world some order since 2011™

I’m a self-taught photographer and artist from London but currently in Southampton.

Academically, I have a BA/BSc (Joint Honours) in English Literature and Philosophy from The University of Manchester.

An upbringing in London significantly influences my photography themes. Growing up in South East and later North West London, I was surrounded by the city’s evolving architectural landscape, which sparked an interest in architecture as a photographic subject. My father’s career as a civil engineer exposed me to large construction projects, leaving a lasting impression and fostering a fascination with architectural forms and symmetry. This deep connection to London’s urban environment is evident in my focus on capturing the city’s architectural beauty and geometric patterns.

About the artwork

This photograph, captured gazing upward within the storied walls of Heal’s in London, my cherished hometown, embodies a quiet reverence for form and ascent. As I contemplated the theme of The Renaissance for this exhibition, I found myself drawn to the era’s celebration of geometric harmony, where proportions and ratios dance in silent precision. The Golden Ratio, a principle revealed to me long ago by a mentor, weaves its subtle magic through this work. Its offspring, the Golden Spiral, unfurls with a graceful rhythm of φ ≈ 1.618, guiding the eye as naturally as a breath. The Rule of Thirds, too, lends its timeless balance, crafting a composition that feels both instinctive and composed. Stairs, to me, hold a deeper poetry—their steady rise a metaphor for life’s measured journey, each step a deliberate passage through time.
