"As an architecture student, I use drawing to create architectural plans. For me, these plans are not just a tool for creating measurable representations, but are also an opportunity to analyse, to process, to explore and to experiment with existing and conceptual environments.
In my drawings, I often use an oblique projection (a type of parallel projection) that depicts objects and environments in three dimensions, where plan and elevation are measurable. My drawings range from depicting carefully measured places and environments, where every detail is represented to provide an accurate image, to exploring conceptual spatialities, where adding everyday objects and activities creates liminal and absurd environments. Drawings enable me not only to gather information that provides an understanding of what is represented, but also to go several steps further by, for example, showing change through displacement, addition and movement. Drawing becomes a way for me to analyse and understand what exists and what happens around us."
