Architechures of Connection, 2026 Digital Print on Composite Aluminium 70 x 120 x 3 cm

What usually escapes perception appears as a fleeting architecture of connection. Fine strands catch the light, revealing patterns of movement and relation beyond ordinary attention. Inspired by the ballooning of spiders, the work transforms a paddock into a fragile topography of peaks and troughs, asking how photography might render visible unseen structures of interdependence and a world shaped by delicate yet resilient acts of connection.
