Burwood Art Prize Finalist 2025
Waves of Contemplation
I'm honoured to be named a finalist in the 2025 Burwood Art Prize — it’s a surreal feeling to have my work recognised alongside so many talented artists.
“Waves of Contemplation” was first exhibited as part of my Summer Solstice series, showcased last year in collaboration with Pillar Brewers and Block Coffee Company.
The image is part of a visual sequence exploring the ritual of entering the sea — a symbolic journey toward your own personal “Summer Solstice.”
​
I had the chance to unpack the concept and creative process behind the work in a thoughtful conversation with my good friend Houman Katoozi on his YouTube series.
​
If you're nearby, I highly recommend stopping by Burwood Library to view the full exhibition while it’s still showing. There's an incredible range of work on display from artists across the region.
Massive thanks to Burwood Council for supporting local artists and the creative community — I’m truly grateful to be part of this.
