📍 Permanent installation at 500 Hay St, Subiaco, Western Australia

A kinetic installation capturing Perth’s unique light, reflecting the splendour and fragility of the Australian landscape. Handcrafted from copper, brass, and aluminium, its hundreds of shimmering leaves dance, rustle, and tarnish over time, symbolizing beauty, loss, and resilience.

After 12 years away, returning to Perth has allowed me to see this place through a different lens. The light here feels sharper, clearer, and more intense—casting everything in a breathtaking, almost surreal clarity. Under the vast, endless blue sky, I’m mesmerized by the way sunlight dances off trees, their leaves shimmering in a kaleidoscope of colours as they move with the wind. This captivating interplay of light and movement inspired my latest installation: What The Leaves Remember.

Australia’s landscapes are extraordinary, yet beneath their beauty lies an alarming reality. Our land clearing rate is the highest among developed nations, and our mammal extinction rate is the worst in the world. This work honours nature’s beauty while reflecting on what we stand to lose. What does nature remember, and what do we choose to forget?
