In Awe Of Nature.
My project began when lockdown hit, and I began to fully appreciate and understand nature. I was able to frequently go on walks, visit forests and take time to enjoy myself in nature. We can be so consumed by school, work and our busy lives that we can forget to take a break for anything else. Nature for me is an escape from grey concrete streets, and large crowds of people. I have loved photographing people in natural locations, watching them relax and start to enjoy themself as we dive deeper into the woods, or reach a glistening river. Nature holds so much power over people and I hope in this project I have been able to convey some of this.

I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be -Sylvia Plath
