My photographic practice predicates landscape photography in an untraditional manner through the incorporation of autobiographical themes. Exploring the ‘self’ and the complications that arise when one is caught in a state of liminality are themes that are frequently explored throughout my imagery; I delicately touch upon such notions and investigate them through the act of photography within the urban topography. Through the exploration of urban sites, particularly natural breaks within the terrain, I investigate the uncertainty and ambiguity of my ‘self’ and its familiarity to particular spaces within the city, using the camera as a tool to externally document the conflict within. Through such a process, the urban landscape is transformed into a site of representation; it becomes an untraditional self-portrait that is rich with indexical traces and notions of trauma and memory, playfully teetering on the boundaries of conventional autobiography and how one’s ‘self’ can be documented.
