Grateful to have completed a 6-month residency with researchers at University of Birmingham (UOB), Systems Modelling and Quantitative Biomedicine (SMQB). This gave me a greater focus on exploring self-care. Currently, working towards a webinar in February and a group exhibition in March, to showcase a video I am developing from the residency.

Thought: “Continuing to learn about self-compassion and being curious."
Just completed a deeper dive with a 4-week compassion course with Angela Bhandari - a liberating experience. Motivated me to start creating early ideas for some new work and workshops.

Currently finalizing some videos to showcase at the group exhibition for Digbeth First Friday on 7th March | 6.30-8pm.
Current book reading is:
