With this series of works I have sought to create a pictorial fable, a myth where the imagery sits between reality and the imagined.
The use of collage and the re-assembling and layering of photographic elements helps to shape the narrative. These images are a contemplation of isolation, a depiction of a surreal, future world where majestic animals are seemingly lost amongst the remnants of the human juggernaut.
The power of the works can be found in their representation of the sanctity of nature, and its vulnerability to the environmental impact that humans are having on the planet.
