A vital part of my artistic practice involves hiking, where I gather materials from the forest to incorporate into my work. I document these experiences with my film camera Canon AE-1 Program, a cherished inheritance from my father during my high school years.
The development process fascinates me—the delayed reveal adds a layer of unpredictability, showcasing how images can transform or deteriorate through chemical interaction. Recently, I’ve explored in The Sustainable Darkroom, London, new techniques, including plant-based processes, and I’m learning to tone photographs with herbal teas.
