Play | Travelling without moving

About the work:
Covid 19 | with the challenges of restricted movement in the real world, ‘play | travelling without moving’ signified a chance to explore the barriers of the still and mundane. Hypnotised by coastal landscapes, this series of images explores the abstract nature of light accross the horizon. Rearranged and re-edited, this highly personalised project featured a multi-layered approach and favoured the un-predictability of photography.
