'Birds Don’t Sing in Caves' is a project born from my fascination with the power and fragility of human relationships and behaviour.
Touching on 'Attachment Theory' in psychology, 'The 5 Love Languages' by Gary Chapman, and the various 'Stages of Relationships' identified by Psychologist Dr. Susan Campbell; my project aims to provide knowledge and tools to promote healthier communication and a better understanding of ourselves and others.
Through illustration, ceramics and textiles, 'Birds Don’t Sing in Caves' is a project about connection, pain, hope and love, and acts as a reminder that with the emotional tools and knowledge to grow, we can improve the way we understand ourselves and the world, and find meaningful connections to others.
