Travelling across the UK, I was struck by the contrast between the enduring presence of monuments and the evolving needs of our global community. As symbols of the past, their relevance is now questioned as the challenges of today grow more urgent. This project explores the tension between permanence and impermanence.

Through imagery juxtaposing rigid monuments with the fluidity of human and ecological relationships, I seek to highlight the essential threads that bind us—to nature, to one another, and to the shared emotions of navigating an ever-changing world. Ultimately, I am questioning what we choose to honour and preserve. As monuments fade, what remains essential? In seeking that answer, I find a profound reverence for the fragile yet powerful relationships that sustain us.
These photographs were submitted as a project for my Master of Arts in Photography at the Academy of Art University.
