The Sporozoan Cavities Suite comprises sixteen copper plates printed in editions of eight monochromatic and eight à la Poupée unique versions. Each plate describes a specific situation of The Sporozoan. The à la Poupée versions evoke deep emotion through their colour and play with plate tone and ghost imagery.

A Word From The Artist:

‘I always want my viewers to bring to the work their own unique ideas about its meaning and allow the work to move them viscerally.

Art combines the mystery of content with the mastery of mediums.

My work is a constant play with light, shadow, and form, in life and in my mind, to bring an unknown world alive. It portrays a world that may not exist to you yet but lives fierce and free in my mind. Merging the human form, flora, fauna, and industry, and always a sense of mystery and adventurous longing exudes from the forms and lines.

It is visceral in nature: exuding the passion I have for making, conveying ecstasy, and sexuality, and ultimately embodies my fluidity.’

Osman Burçak Yetkin is a photography-artist based in Turkey and a graduate of the Istanbul Bilgi University, in the Visual Communication Design Department.

With a keen eye for capturing the beauty of the world around him, he specialises in portraying the essence of isolated individuals, objects and their moods through his lens. Osman’s work is a reflection of his unique perspective on life, showcasing moments of beauty, introspection, and cultural diversity. He finds joy in exploring different cultures and landscapes, documenting his journeys through images that transport viewers to distant places. He specialises in capturing the raw emotions and authentic expressions of individuals, revealing the true essence of their character and personality.

A Word from the Artist:

‘Windows reflect the identity of those who live behind them. A window might reveal aspects of a resident’s lifestyle, personality, or socioeconomic status, and I try to document the diversity and contrasts within society. The composition is intended to make the viewer feel as though they are an outsider looking in, separated from the world that exists inside.’

Brogan Burke

Brogan Burke is a British interdisciplinary artist and a graduate of

Wrexham University, holding both an MA in Art Interdisciplinary Practice

and a BA in Fine Art.

Brogan’s work challenges viewers to consider how architecture and the use of  space can evoke emotional responses, ultimately questioning the role of design in our experiences of loss. Reflecting on her own grieving experiences, she uses found materials to create site-specific sculptures that are intimately linked to the memories of her family. This process embodies the interplay between architecture and grief, illustrating how both are subject to cycles of creation, destruction, and renewal. Much like the built environment, grief is not static; it evolves, continuously reshaped by our personal experiences and emotions. The buildings and spaces we inhabit transform over time, and with them, our memories of those places evolve as well. These changes can deeply influence the way we experience grief, as the physical spaces we associate with people we have lost cease to exist in the same way.

In Brogan’s practice, film photography plays a crucial role,

capturing snippets in time that resonate with the power of memory. The still and motion-filled photographs encapsulate the feeling of being frozen in time while the world moves on. Grief is the experience of being in-between, of uncertainty, or disorientation.

Multi Ego is a self-taught, London-based artist, whose personas encompass the likes of; Mr. Crispy, Mr. Confectionary, Mr. Sippy, and Mr. Serial. Multi Ego is inspired by the many genres of art that pass through his creative consciousness— works that some might be familiar with— and his snack parodies were born through experimentation with these genres.

A Word From The Artist:

‘Being a massive snack fan, I strive to offer hits of dopamine through parody, which can be seen in my nostalgic snack prints. I focus on the snacks we used to— and still love to— munch, from crisps to chocolate. My medium is drawing which I transition to digital prints, all of which are vibrant, bright and eye-catching with colours that pop.’

Jeannine Unsen

www.jeannineunsen.com

Born in Luxembourg and having graduated with a photography

degree from Brussels in 1999, Jeannine Unsen stages characters in

carefully imagined settings, raising questions of vulnerability, identity,

and representation. Since the early 2000s, her work has been exhibited

in Luxembourg and abroad, including the Odd, Small and Beautiful solo exhibition at the Luxembourg City Museum; the Nuit de l’Europe, Rencontres d’Arles, Arles; China International Photography Festival, Pingyao; and the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art.

Jeannine Unsen shows women that pose in carefully imagined settings,

raising questions of vulnerability, identity — more precisely, the archetypal

‘wise women’ — and representation. The timeless contexts in which the

characters reveal themselves arise from a tight collaboration between

the artist and her model, exploring the mystical feminine nature.

Fundamental to her work is a reflection on our longing for spiritual yet deep human connection. The carefully crafted process during which the portrait is taken is particularly relevant as it explores our ability to face stillness and how

we allow ourselves to reconnect to our ancient wisdom. To materialise

the non tangible pulse that radiates from every human being, the artist

gives corpus back to photography by loading the body with gesture

and memories through hand stitched embroidery.

Kev Waite is a Mental Health Advocate, Public Speaker, and Yoga Teacher with a BA in Fine Art.

A Word From The Artist:

‘Shaped by my daily journey with Bipolar Disorder and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), my work is an evolving testament to resilience. These conditions impact not only my mind but also my body, influencing the way I approach creation itself.

What began as detailed, figurative work has now transformed— just as I have— into raw,  abstract compositions of colour and form, in order to keep challenging my struggle to keep a steady hand with the neurological disorder.

Each piece is an emotional response to my daily reality; expressing, sometimes confronting, the struggles and triumphs of living with both illnesses.

Abstract painting with a dose of street art style has become a powerful medium for me, reflecting my unapologetic stance and frustration with societal expectations surrounding mental health. I like to think my paintings pack a punch.

The process of creating bold and powerful work allows me to think in colour and shape rather than in words, offering me a true escape. Where I once grappled with other people’s judgments, I now embrace art as a path to inner peace, shedding concern for outside perceptions.

I seek not only to create but to connect, delivering pieces that resonate deeply and authentically. My hope is that my art moves you beyond thought, into a space of pure feeling.’
