My
current series, Favourite, explores
the tension between intimacy and distance, capturing the way my
children present themselves to the
world through social media. I paint portraits of them, using images taken from
their stories, posts and reels on Instagram after they have moved away. The
images they share online—carefully posed, filtered, and constructed—are
reimagined in my work, distanced from the rawness of their original moments.
The act of translating these curated images into paint gives a sense of space
and detachment. This work is a product of confronting the shifts in my role as
a mother and artist.
