The Middle Children of History

This photographic project, explores the intricate interplay between constructed realities and the questioning of what we perceive as real. Through my work I aim to challenge conventional notions of reality by constructing visually captivating scenes that blur the boundaries between the tangible and the imagined.

I invite viewers to question the authenticity of what they see, prompting them to contemplate the fluid nature of reality itself.
My work serves as a visual exploration of the complexities of perception and the malleability of truth, through the juxtaposition of disparate elements and the creation of dreamlike landscapes.

Ultimately, my photographic practice is a reflection of my fascination with the enigmatic nature of reality and the endless possibilities that arise when we question the world around us.

‘The Middle Children of History’ is a project that seeks to disrupt the dominant narratives of history and challenge the process of assimilation that underpin our understanding of the past present and future.
