about the photos
During the pandemic, I found myself returning to an exhibition invitation I’d received years earlier, in 2003, while working at The Power Plant: Marijke van Warmerdam’s Promise at Lisson Gallery in London. Van Warmerdam’s practice of finding profound beauty in overlooked moments stayed with me.
I began photographing the natural forms we typically pass by without noticing—clover, wild grasses, tree branches. What we often dismiss as ordinary revealed themselves as intricate, resilient, and alive.
