This body of work investigates the presence of occurrences that, whether resulting from negligence or intentional intervention, embody the inevitable and often understated forms of human intrusion upon the natural environment. Rather than focusing on dramatic impacts, it highlights the quiet, persistent traces dispersed throughout the landscape which, over time, become integrated into its very structure. As with much of my practice, the work is situated within an inquiry into sites that have been transformed or are undergoing transformation, but also overlooked.
The images brought together here were produced over several years, across diverse contexts and originally with differing intentions. Through comprehensive and retrospective reflection, it became possible to establish a conceptual framework centred on displacement, understood within the broader relationship between humanity and the natural world. Beyond the depiction of specific things and places, the work seeks to evoke a sense of the normalisation of a nature that has been shaped, managed, and domesticated.
