The work was presented at Offprint at Tate Modern in 2024 and consists of two editions: the first comprising 36 prints and the second expanding to 52 works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe collection emerged from a deeply personal experience following a serious fall in which I broke my jaw. During recovery, I became increasingly aware of how physical trauma alters perception, memory, and emotional responses. The works became a visual language through which I could examine pain, healing, resilience, and the fragmented nature of recollection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentral to the collection is a unique printmaking process that I developed through experimentation. Layers of grout are gradually applied to the paper over an extended period, creating a thickened and heavily textured surface that becomes an active part of the image. Rather than serving as a passive support, the paper carries the physical weight of the work, recording time, pressure, and repeated interventions. The resulting surfaces resemble scars, sediment, and accumulated memories, embodying the emotional and physical traces that trauma leaves behind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColour plays a significant role throughout the series. It operates not only as a visual element but as an emotional register, reflecting shifting states of vulnerability, resilience, confusion, and acceptance. Through repetition and variation, each print becomes a response to a particular memory or feeling, while the collection as a whole forms a larger narrative about recovery and transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePresented together as a board of prints, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDa Colour of Reality\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of trauma, healing, and remembrance. The work proposes that reality is not fixed or objective, but shaped by the emotional and psychological layers we carry with us. Through material experimentation and personal storytelling, the collection transforms individual experience into a shared space for reflection and connection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dont-give-up-kid","title":"Don't Give Up Kid","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"516\" data-start=\"198\"\u003eCreated from layers of hand-worked paper using a technique I developed over seven years studying and working at Central Saint Martins, this piece began during a period of recovery after a serious jaw injury.
