Selected photographic works

Liminal Nature

Liminal Nature investigates forested environments as transitional image spaces rather than depictions of landscape. The works shift between recognition and abstraction, constructing visual thresholds where natural structures lose their documentary stability and become perceptual fields. Rather than representing the forest as subject, the series treats it as a medium through which image, memory, and spatial uncertainty are negotiated. The resulting works oscillate between clarity and dissolution, suggesting environments that are neither fully real nor entirely constructed.

Expanded Botanics

Expanded Botanics explores vegetal forms as sites of transformation beyond observational realism. Through close visual engagement and digital reconfiguration, the works extract botanical structures from their biological context and reposition them within expanded perceptual frameworks. The series does not aim to document plant life, but to reframe it as an evolving visual system. Scale, texture, and material presence are intensified until the boundary between macro-observation and speculative construction becomes unstable.

Speculative Animal Portraits

Speculative Animal Portraits examines the animal image as a constructed encounter between presence and projection. The works do not function as documentary portraits, but as mediated interpretations of animality shaped by perception, distance, and cultural imagination. Each image positions the animal as both subject and construct, questioning the stability of representation and the emotional frameworks through which non-human life is visually understood.

Natural Anomalies

Natural Anomalies focuses on fragments of the natural environment that resist immediate categorisation. Through selective framing and digital intervention, familiar structures are displaced into ambiguous visual states. The series investigates how perception organizes nature into readable systems—and how these systems begin to dissolve when scale, focus, and context are subtly disrupted. The works operate in a space between observation and abstraction.

Coastal Formations

Coastal Formations studies coastal environments as dynamic structural systems rather than scenic landscapes. Water, horizon, and shoreline are treated as shifting formal conditions that continuously reconfigure spatial perception. Instead of romanticizing the sea, the works isolate compositional tensions within coastal space—between stability and movement, surface and depth, presence and disappearance.

States of Levitation

States of Levitation explores visual conditions of suspension, weightlessness, and spatial detachment. The works construct moments in which physical logic appears temporarily suspended, allowing forms to exist in ambiguous states of motion and stillness. Rather than depicting flight, the series investigates the perception of liftedness as an image condition—where gravity becomes visually uncertain and spatial orientation begins to dissolve.
