As an artist based in Melbourne, which endured one of the world’s longest and toughest Covid-19 lockdowns, I experienced firsthand the absence of close companionship with friends and family.

Developed post-pandemic, Always Better Together reflects my realisation that, while some have pushed the effects of social isolation to the back of their minds, for others, the lockdown continues to have a lasting emotional impact.

This series expresses my belief that life is best experienced with the support of loved ones, highlighting the importance of togetherness and the value of human connection in navigating life’s challenges.
