As a contemporary artist who explores impacts of global cultural change and identity. "The Passing", is a grave top installation sculpture made from 1,000 fluorescent light bulbs at Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney, as part of Hidden Sculptural Exhibition Rookwood Cemetery 2016 that won a commended award.
It raises further questions about time, sustainability, the environment and the machine of business which partly influences identity formation and culture. In other words, it is about recognizing the impact of changing technologies on our culture, our attitudes and social patterns and what drives these changes.

Will this small change influence architecture, the backyard BBQ, mining, travel and reception areas? Will it affect our social patterns?
Are we recognizing these changes and impacts?
