Faith
Faith is a documentary project exploring the diversity of religious experience across Edinburgh. It highlights the unique ways religion is expressed across different communities, examining the intersection of faith and personal identity. This project aims to foster a deeper understanding of how spirituality shapes daily life, community, and cultural identity. It features constructed environmental portraits of religious leaders and followers, accompanied by contextual imagery, and offers a holistic view of faith in Scotland. Rather than focusing on a single tradition, it engages with individuals from various faith groups, including Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others. Through collaboration with these groups, this work documents how faith continues to adapt within an increasingly secular Scottish society.
