Spectral Grounds - Medium: Mixed-media installation 

Spectral Grounds explores the act of documenting and collecting landscapes, ruins, and disappearing spaces, moving between Plymouth UK and Ephesus - Izmir-Turkey. These sites, fragile and shifting, hold memory in their stones and silences. Through long-exposure photography and abstracted compositions, I blur the boundary between site and memory, allowing presence and absence to coexist.

Collage and automatic layering are central methods in this work, echoing the way histories accumulate—fragmented, interrupted, and overlapping. By bringing images into dialogue, I trace how landscapes resist singular readings and open themselves to multiple, shifting interpretations.

Through a queer lens, I attend to the intimate entanglements of bodies and places, exploring how landscapes carry desire, loss, and resilience. Spectral Grounds unfolds across transcultural and transhistorical registers, inviting audiences to reflect on how sites, even in disappearance, continue to bear emotional and political weight, reminding us that absence itself can speak with presence.
