(2019 -2026)
Shot entirely on analog film and printed by hand through a fully manual darkroom processes, the work explores the body, movement, form, and abstraction as emotional and perceptual states. The photographs function as visual meditations — fragments of time suspended between memory, sensation, and presence.
Rather than operating as documentary, the images construct a poetic archive of lived experience, tracing subtle transitions between intimacy and distance, person and place, stillness and motion. The book forms a retrospective of the artist’s first five years of practice in the photographic medium.
The film tells the story of humanity in three parts, combining a myriad of scenes spanning nature, portraiture, and abstract, stylised images to create a visual poem about the past, present and future of mankind, set to the music of Richard Wagner and Alice Coltrane.
The first work in film by the artist, The Future Dream was shown independently at local screenings, and had a short run at two small festivals.
