fragments

My early days in macro photography drew me to the beauty in things that are often overlooked. Weathered surfaces, peeling paint, rust, decay. In Fragments, I explore these quiet stories through intricate details, colour, texture, and the natural changes that unfold over time. This series is where I lean into photography as fine art, using my camera to honour the character of things that are breaking down, falling apart, or simply fading away.
