Between Then and When
This body of work examines the uneasy space between future and present. Rooted in analogue photography, experimental moving image and psychogeography, I use the camera to trace emotional responses to landscape and question how these spaces mirror internal states of uncertainty and disconnection. I have been drawn to environments that feel nostalgic such as abandoned homes, rural personal sites, and overlooked peripheries as a process to resolve feelings about change. where familiarity feels fractured. These places become psychological terrains, visual metaphors for anxiety, nostalgia, and the elusive search for an answer while walking an uncertain path. This work is both personal and observational, mapping emotional undercurrents through physical space, and inviting the viewer to inhabit a landscape where meaning is felt before it is understood.
