This project emerged from a series of walks around my local area during the various national lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, when we’ve had the freedom to go outside for exercise, using the camera as a mediator between myself as the observer and the intraurban. I’ve used these periods to document the various marks and evidence of human life that have caught my attention and that are prone to go unnoticed by others. ‘Observe’ is a body of work that touches on those banal traces that you witness as part of the daily norm. As the city constantly develops and changes, so does my photography and the imagery that inevitably follows, finding that beauty within the banal.
