Starting the Beginners Drawing classes in 2024, I expanded to explore Collage in 2025 with various materials and gilding, alongside continuing the Drawing classes. This allowed me to develop my artistic expression in a more 3D manner, in keeping with my previous creative endeavours with flowers, pottery and silver work.

Based on the Artist's experience of visiting the Headquarters of a bank and seeing the vaults where money is stored and old notes burned. The logo is deconstructed and hidden.
