Entropy

Exhibited as part of Self Portrait, NGV Melbourne Design Week, 2022 and Melbourne Now, NGV, 2023.
Entropy explores the fundamental and irrefutable notion that disorder is always on the rise, that as energy disperses, decay and disaggregation are inevitable. We experience time as linear because of what it takes away from us: from the seemingly trivial to the existential—the physical degradation of the human form. Entropy is all that distinguishes the past from the future.
In life, experiences such as loss, heartbreak, and suffering all become exceedingly unavoidable. People you love get sick. Lovers part. Connections fail. Life gets truly complicated, increasingly and irrevocably so.
Entropy is a literal reference to the increasing agitation of once ordered molecular structures, manifested via a dreamlike sequence of interconnecting parts. Hints of the feminine and the architectural provide a subtle homage to the more superficial yet essential aspects of the designer’s identity. It is a compression of a temporal timeline, revealing the beauty and the texture that emerges from both a singular and shared human experience of existence—of letting go in the face of ever increasing chaos.
