Process

Concept:

As much as it was suggested that we shouldn’t use photos from our family homes, I couldn’t help but use my own, as it’s been a constant place of refuge for me for over sixteen years. For some context, the house is a semi-detached two story, built at the turn of the millennium in suburban London. For me though, it wasn’t a point of what was inside the house that’s stuck with me, its the outside, or more specifically, the view of the outside from the windows. You see, we become desensitised to the inside of our homes because we pass through the rooms without thinking, but it is a seldom moment when we take the time to look out a window, therefore the view is that much more ingrained in our memories.

You see, we become desensitised to the inside of our homes because we pass through the rooms without thinking, but it is a seldom moment when we take the time to look out a window, therefore the view is that much more ingrained in our memories. Within my final photos, you not only see the view through the windows but also the window frame itself, as I believe that it plays an integral part into the view as well.

Throughout each image, there is a variation in angles and distance from the window. This is meant to emulate the way in which we never look through windows in a single uniform manner. Rather, we look through them in passing, only catching glimpses of the outside world as we pass the window.
