Momentum

Maxine is an emerging artist whose work is influenced by her background in psychology and her experience working alongside children, families, and individuals. She is interested in the ways people navigate challenges, find meaning, and continue moving forward.

For Maxine, art is a way to reflect on emotions and experiences that can be difficult to express through words alone. Using colour, symbolism, and metaphor, her work explores themes of resilience, growth, and connection, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences and interpretations.

'Momentum' reflects the steady progress of moving forward. A school of fish swim through circular forms, each ring representing obstacles or challenges we face in our lives. The act of moving through the rings becomes a metaphor for persistence, learning, and gradual growth. This piece highlights how progress is sustained through continuous effort, resilience, and adaptation. It reflects how persistence creates its own momentum, steadily moving us forward.
