[ Photography ]
In this photographic series, I delve into the power dynamics of London by challenging the prevailing security systems with the tools of humanity and open dialogue. My goal was to capture images of soldiers and their environments in a way that would be impossible under strict surveillance. For several weeks, I engaged in conversations with a soldier at Clarence House, immersing myself in the bustling crowds of tourists. Our interactions became a bridge between us; while I spoke, he conveyed understanding through subtle eye movements. Although the soldiers remained silent, I seized moments of connection during their downtime, synchronizing my photography with their rituals. At the Heygate Estate—now locked down in preparation for demolition—I gained access to one of the platforms at Elephant & Castle station during engineering works. This unique opportunity allowed me to document a fading space poised on the brink of oblivion, merging themes of restriction with the transformative power of communication. Through these images, I aim to illuminate the complexities surrounding authority and connection in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
