I dabble in visual art, but also float across mediums, I like the different layers of expression.
I also focus on film and photography, I’ve been shooting film since 2014 and have produced over 100 photos.
photography is a whole experience, that’s what I really like about it I’m about to be shooting my friend in a band soon, then collaging it and painting over the top
VOICE
The notion of young people having a voice and sharing in their experiences matters to me.
Especially how it can be really intimidating in terms caring about others opinions.
​
A lot of my experiences are about impatience, like can’t wait till I do this later.
I’m really into that and young people being more open minded and conscious of themselves.
ADVICE
​
Don’t rely on other people for your happiness.
Don’t wait around for other people. You have to be the one to make the first move.
Friendship wise, listen to understand people and realise when there’s silence, it doesn’t mean there’s a problem.
​
I don’t need to question myself. Asking if I’ve done something wrong. Usually, it’s their own internal issues, not mine – you mustn’t take things personally.

FUTURE PLANS
Honestly, like most kids, no clue.
I feel like there is so much pressure on kids to have a concept of where they are going, but I know I want to do something I am passionate about and something to do with art and helping other people. I defiantly want to travel. Particularly to Marrakesh in India, Europe and America.
LEARNING
I’m here to learn and that’s my purpose, I’m not going to shove it down others throats.
It’s not about how I die or when I die or death at all. It’s about learning often. Learning from bad experiences rather than feeling sorry for yourself. Taking responsibility for yourself!
Personally, I have a really bad history with guys, but I’ve learnt a lot.
