Venturing into the abstract and intangible, After the Things of Nature pays homage to metaphysics, a branch of philosophy which explores existence beyond material reality. Through uncovering a world filled with new possibilities, the work acts as an investigation in the space-time dimension, examining the process of transformation and our relationship with the cosmos.

Mixed media techniques involving acrylic transfer and painting on photographs are used to create a layering effect with strange textures and vibrant hues, resulting in an alternate version of nature where imaginary constructs are made manifest. Due to this visual modification, images begin to transcend their original contexts and a sense of timelessness is evoked.
