CIPHER is a series of large-scale colour photographs that investigate the ambiguity of memory and the visceral effects of hidden trauma. Imbued with both the immediacy of crisis and the memory of myth, these photographs call into question issues surrounding subjectivity and interpretation. The images within the series feature landscapes punctuated with shifting forms, childlike figures that gesture towards intangible spaces and bleed into their surroundings. These characters play out an uneasy narrative based around the traditions of allegory and myth.
