This series is a small study on nature’s extremes: the nurturing side and the viciously unpredictable one.
I travelled to New Zealand with this idea in mind and to document the geologically active areas of the North Island and Whakaari, an andesite stratovolcano located 30 miles off the main coast.
There, the contrast between lush vegetation and the ever evolving and rumbling earth below felt almost enticing, as if I was the first person exploring a long-lost world I had no knowledge of. I was intrigued by the idea of portraying the inexplicable uneasiness when coming across a foreign land.
Ultimately I am hoping this collection will inspire a true sense of mystery and renewed respect for nature and our surroundings that way too often we tend to forget and should instead be re-discovered.
