By merging 19th-century and contemporary photographic techniques,
my practice seeks to pioneer sustainable printing methods in the face of our
growing climate crisis, while continually pushing technical, creative, and conceptual
boundaries. Each image I create responds to a specific location, weaving narratives
that illuminate the interconnectedness of humans, non-humans, and the wider environment.

My work delves into the concept of deep time, rooted in geological processes, set against
the immediacy of changing weather patterns and the repercussions of a warming climate.
The need to document change lies at the heart of my practice—a thematic thread woven into
every visual narrative, reflecting the urgency of our evolving world.

Collaboration with natural elements is central to my process, whether through immersion
in seawater, the gentle patter of rain, or the delicate inclusion of plant specimens.
Sunlight, silt, and soil aren't mere tools but active forces shaping my outcomes, forging
a visceral bond with viewers.

I wish my work transcends passive observation, sparking conversations that I actively
engage in and that foster my evolution as both photographer and individual. Through this
symbiotic relationship between photography and environment, my images become catalysts
for dialogue, encouraging reflection and contributing to a broader discourse on our
collective responsibility in a rapidly transforming world.
