The practice's focus is placed on analysing our perceptions of housing estates, with a ground basis of being in a boundless journey: an unconfined exploration unrestricted to standards and pre-established values. The notoriously infamous council estate in South London, the Heygate Estate, is currently emptied and due for demolition and became the location where my journeys took place. These were recorded using film and photography and also revealed as light trails, a metaphorical depiction of my own explorations and presence in the barren site, where once thousands lived and called it home. Boundaries can be physical, imaginary, and representational, like the Prime Meridian line that divides the world in half, and makes one wonder whether in fact it actually represents anything. At times, boundaries can have an implicit quality, like the separation of public and private in certain un-gated properties. All these boundaries delineate the city and its citizens and how one perceives the other. Bearing in mind the notion of navigating the borderlines, how can this be expressed and experienced in art form? The answer comes from this experimentation using film and photography in a journey of discovery and questions.
