The Loop is a durational photographic project which allowed me to make a personal exploration of my inner being and to connect with the space just beyond my front door that I had become estranged to over recent years.



For 100 days between 19th April to 27th July 2020, I took a daily walk starting and ending at my home. I always went in a circle - one day I went left, the next right, and I usually followed the same route.



The whole process became a ritual - I would set my phone, put in my headphones and about an hour later when I arrived home felt my mind and perspective cleared. It was a strange paradox that by spending more time alone I felt more able to connect with the world around me.



The Loop is a selection of the images I took at that time paired with words from a song from my playlist that happened to resonate with me each day. Together, the words and pictures create multiple, imagined narratives that tell a story about my home and where I am from. Mostly though, they are a snapshot of my most personal, subconscious thoughts and feelings, and the beginnings of a concerted effort to be part of my local community.
