Experiencing the Arctic Circle is one thing, but experiencing it with a group of international artists who share your sense of wonder is something else entirely. Together, we watched as the Arctic revealed itself with its vast pastel skies, the quiet transition to polar night, the northern lights dancing like whispers in the dark. Each encounter with wildlife felt like a gift, and I’m still dreaming about it all.

Since returning from the Arctic, I've found myself in a reflective space, still trying to fully process the experience. I feel a weight to ensure that what I create and share will inspire others to see the Arctic’s fragility and the need to safeguard it for future generations. It’s as though I’ve been entrusted with a piece of the Arctic’s story, carrying it forward with the hope that it sparks a similar sense of care in others to preserve these frozen worlds. Honouring a place visibly impacted by forces beyond its control, I hope to be a voice for these landscapes who can’t speak for themselves.

At the heart of this body of work lies the belief that it is never too late for change. Every decision we make today leaves a mark on tomorrow. And in that recognition lies hope, the possibility that even the broken pieces of our world can be transformed into something beautiful and new. Uncharted Waters navigates the fragile balance between destruction and renewal, offering a reflection on how we can reshape what has been damaged.
