In 2024, I joined the Online Drawing Development Year (ODDY), a year-long programme by the Royal Drawing School in London, UK. This period marked a turning point in my practice.

Moving beyond coloured pencil, I began working with charcoal and soft pastel, expanding the material and expressive possibilities of my drawing. Collage also became an essential part of my practice, laying the foundation for the larger-scale, materially driven works that continue to shape my practice today.
