KSA Level 5 Show

‘The World in One Place’ captures the memories held by the fridge magnets in my home, presenting them not just as objects, but as storytellers of the places and moments they represent.

This piece is a response to the title In Real Time. I created the painting to reflect on a nostalgic yet mundane moment from my life, creating the feeling of a scene I’ve observed since childhood: looking out the window while making breakfast, watching my grandad water the flowers in the garden.

For this exhibition, I focused on creating a playful, child-oriented scene that captures themes of nostalgia, joy, and childhood. The works emphasize vivid colours and intuitive mark-making to evoke a sense of wonder and spontaneity.

I created Marilyn’s Ghost in response to the Ghosts of the Stage theme, exploring how Marilyn Monroe’s legacy continues to linger immaterially, even in her physical absence.
