In this series of images, I view my domestic household as a landscape that holds within them memories. These tiny imprints of human interaction hold the key to reflecting on the past, present, and future. Quiet reminders of the refuge that has been created over the years within this domestic space. That changes constantly, a place that holds the deepest emotions. This work walks you through the history of a household. 

Inspired by landscapes of Sir Don McCollin’s and Jay Appleton theory of the prospect refuge, this work shows the relationship that I have with the space that I live in. As a family we try to make the perfect space to live, to feel safe but with this creates the imperfection that makes the space that we inhabit ours. 

Looking at my household through an Mamiya RZ67, I found a new world. As the camera’s shallow depth of field, it can capture a horizon line, turning my house into a landscape. Creating mountains out of bed sheets, fields out of sofas and deserts out of carpets and rugs.
