"The inspiration for ‘Don’t Play With Your Food’ was stumbled upon in Glasgow. I was sat back In a café, relishing a Cobb salad, I found profound joy in slicing open a hard-boiled egg. Beyond its technical aspects, the act connects us to simple pleasures, revealing the smooth uniformity within.

This body of work redefines everyday items, challenging function, reassigning meaning, and constructing a new visual language for the mundane elements we often encounter."
