Destroyed by Incineration (2026) is composed of hospital containers designed for clinical waste, objects intended to hold what must be removed and permanently burned. Once part of a medical system of disposal, they are repurposed here as vessels of reflection and release. 

Each container carries handwritten text naming internal states and experiences the artist chose to confront through the process of illness. They are traced back to specific moments in time, marked by dates and contexts. Each is paired with a single closing point, the cancer surgery. 

The work brings together two timelines. One follows the accumulation of psychological and emotional weight across a lifetime. The other interrupts it. The surgery, while medical in nature, is positioned as a moment of rupture that allows these patterns to be reconsidered and ended. 

By using containers associated with destruction, the work reframes what is being discarded. It is not only biological matter, but inherited narratives, internalised beliefs, and unresolved experiences. The act of naming and containing becomes a step toward separation. 

Destroyed by Incineration marks a deliberate boundary. What was carried for years is acknowledged, contained, and no longer allowed to define what continues beyond this point.
