Jesse Akele’s 'Scrutiny' expands on an ongoing exploration in her recent work regarding the state of self reflection. Entering her late twenties, she explains beginning to question herself and direction with a lot more gravity leading to surges self analysing. She observed the growing need for a sense of secure future direction, leading to investigations of personal history to understand the source of different aspects of her personality and behaviour. 'Scrutiny' can be seen here as a state of tension simultaneously highlighting the sense of isolation felt when in this place of introspection.
