In 2017, I completed a BA(Hons) in Fine Art: Ceramics and Glass at the National College of Art and Design. In 2015 during my research for my graduate show, I found a Syrian identity card on a Turkish beach, very close to where Alan Kundi’s young body washed up on the beach. This lead me on a journey researching displacement. My graduate show consisted of long lines of displaced spoons, the spoon, a recognisable tool that we pick up daily, both for nourishment and for sharing our food, a metaphor for lives that have been damaged by displacement and lack of emotional nourishment, triggering anxiety and trauma.
