The series Towards: is an attempt to express the intangible emotional layers that augment the experience – and engineering feat – of modern air travel. A sense of escape, possibility, unknown, and other such evocations of travel become visible in these photographs via light leaks and aurora-esque colours. Mirroring the ideas of unpredictability and unfolding, Towards: uses no digital editing. Instead, the dreamscape we tend to experience around flying is depicted through physically affecting 35mm film by hand with heat, saltwater, citrus, and sunflowers, drying it out, and waiting to see what develops.
