I am a recipient of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute grant to support my artist residency in Riyadh, where I plan to conduct preliminary research on KSA cultural heritage to solidify the rationale for a new project that will be executed in 2024/2025.
The grant will also support expanding my network with other artists, curators, and producers to create a foundation for long-term engagement with the KSA.
My photographs from the ‘Changing Rooms‘ project are featured in “Camera Clara Award 2012-2022“, published by Palais Books.
I am very honoured to share that text accompanying my work was written by a head curator at the Louvre Museum - Dominique de Font-Réaulx.
The book launched to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Camera Clara Award will be officially unveiled on the 20th of April, 2023, at the Frank Horvat Studio in Paris.

I am delighted to announce my work ‘Interior I (Miners’ Changing Room)‘ will be displayed as a part of the Royal Academy of Arts’ ‘Summer Exhibition 2021’.
This year, the ‘Summer Exhibition’ is coordinated by renowned artist Yinka Shonibare RA. The exhibition will explore the theme of ‘Reclaiming Magic’ and celebrate the joy of creating art.
When the Royal Academy was founded in 1768, one of its key objectives was to establish an annual exhibition, open to all artists of merit, which the public could visit. The first summer exhibition took place in 1769; it has been held every year since without exception.
‘Summer Exhibition 2021‘ is running from 22 September 2021 — 2 January 2022.
I am thrilled to announce I am a recipient of Developing Your Creative Practice Award 2021 by Arts Council England.

I am honoured to announce work from my recent project 'Skene' has been acquired by the UK Government Art Collection.

The role of the Collection is to promote British art while contributing to cultural diplomacy. Dating from 1898, the Collection has expanded over the years and now contains over 13,500 works of art from the 16th century to the present day by mainly British artists in a broad range of media.
You are cordially invited to 'EN SUSPENS' group exhibition at LE BAL, Paris, opening on Thursday 8th February @ 6pm.
Very honoured to have my photographs exhibited among some very stimulating still and moving image work by Bas Jan Ader, Debi Cornwall, Stephane Degoutin & Gwenola Wagon, Luc Delahaye, Hiwa K, Aglaia Konrad, Jacques-Henri Michot, Rabih Mroué, Melanie Pavy, Sebastian Stumpf, Henk Wildschut and Paola Yacoub.
Diane Dufour, Director of LE BAL described the show as: "a poetic, abstract, fragile attempt to translate something of our times. Something indefinable, intangible but that might be recognised as the condition of one person, of several or of all : being in a state of suspension.”
LE BAL and Shelter Press co-edited exhibition catalogue which will be available from 8th Feb.
"EN SUSPENS" is running until 13th May.
