Don’t Push Me Cause I’m Close To The Edge.
Don’t Push Me Cause I’m Close to the Edge is an ongoing series of photographs that reflects our nuanced relationship with desire and power.
Taken on my travels across the world, these images reveal how dominant systems and structures affect our lived experience and necessitate everyday acts of resistance. Often my photos highlight and give voice to the overlooked, marginalised, oppressed, and subjugated.
I’m fascinated with the human condition, with the stories we spin, with what motivates and thwarts us and the impact we have, on each other and our environment.
In making the invisible visible, I’m interrogating our ability to filter out aspects of reality, to choose to deny that our choices make a difference.
I often collaborate with and photograph individuals who strive to embody and enact an alternative narrative and identity. Whether it’s reclaiming dominance through role-playing and enacting sexual fantasies, or joining the army, religious groups, protests, marches, or campaigns, I am interested in how we create new tribes and mythologies and the inherent contradictions, tensions, and tipping points in taking control.
My photographs demonstrate how we perceive things shifts according to how we are cared for, treated, both on a personal and political level.
