Fetch.

I created this piece shortly after moving to a new home near Ashton Court and welcoming my dog, Zeeba, into my life. It was a period marked by new responsibilities, new routines, and a growing connection to the landscape around me. What began as daily walks quickly became something more, a reason to spend hours outdoors, moving through woodland trails and open spaces that soon felt like home.

Sagittarius, being my zodiac sign, is a symbol I have returned to throughout my work as a way of exploring freedom, movement, and instinct. Here, however, the story is no longer solitary. At the edge of the cliff stands Zeeba, poised with the anticipation that only a dog can bring to a simple game of fetch.

Anyone who knows her knows that a ball is never just a ball. It is a mission, an obsession, and a source of endless joy. Much of our time together was spent with a ball in hand, walking further than planned and staying out longer than intended.

While the piece contains elements of mythology, its meaning is deeply personal. It is about the sense of freedom that companionship can create. Zeeba brought a spontaneity and energy into my life that encouraged me to explore more, move more, and experience the world with a renewed sense of curiosity.

Fetch is ultimately a celebration of that feeling, the freedom of open space, the bond between human and animal, and the small moments that quietly become some of the most important in our lives.
