The series focuses on the polarised political discourse and its representation in the media and its impact on the human psyche, while also exploring the relationship between politics, nature and the living world.
In the series, the images are linked according to a universal system of symbols, forming pairs of images that form an endless chain of associations with each other. In the process, I work with staged photographs, but consciously on way that seems to be looking at the world around us through the eyes of a 21st century flaneur.
The frame of the heterogeneous series is a balance between nature and the human-made environment - this can be a social environment, personal situations or human-made physical space - so the built environment is as much a part of the picture as the natural one.
The frustration experienced in one is what drives the exploration of the other, but the politics and digital world has an impact on everything. In associative imagery, I am not looking for solutions, rather to interpret, to find similarities and connections between the environment and the current mood of the people living in it, and their visions of the future.
