ALIRA explores landscape through texture, colour and abstraction, drawing on the relationship between material, place and memory.

Rather than depicting recognisable locations, the series presents compositions that suggest terrain, erosion and atmospheric change. Shifts in scale and perspective allow small details to take on the qualities of expansive landscapes.

The title carries a personal association with memory and place, while the images remain open to interpretation. Familiar forms emerge and disappear, inviting viewers to consider what they recognise and what they imagine.

ALIRA continues an investigation into how photography can transform our perception of material, allowing something observed at a small scale to suggest a much larger world.
