In the Crowd series, I explore the dynamics of public gatherings, focusing on the relationships between individuals and the collective in shared spaces and events. Working from a single photographic frame—originally captured on an iPhone and zoomed to its technical limit—I strip the image of colour and detail, reducing it to its most essential forms. These deconstructed compositions are then transferred onto canvas or paper using ink and cyanotype technique.
By capturing a state of anonymity, these works examine how we inhabit and navigate the tension between personal identity and collective presence.
