DESPITE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT YOU

 Despite Numerous Attempts to Contact You is a body of work that explores the relationship between personal finance and mental health.

In Despite Numerous Attempts to Contact You, the gallery space is a nightmarish interpretation of the domestic environment with furniture that confines and restricts, echoing the debilitating lethargy that comes with depression and anxiety. Inspired by poverty experienced as a result of being precariously employed in Further and Higher Education, print designs feature letters from debt collection agencies about loan defaults that amassed during a three month period, as well as excerpts from personal communications with family and friends. Imagery has been inspired by vapourwave aesthetics both for the genre’s reference to creating alternative realities as a coping mechanism, and its listless critique of late capitalism.
