Eden

Eden Eden is an exploration into the connection of humans and their natural surroundings. This editorial aims to capture the nostalgic feeling attached to spaces, places, and moments by drawing from memory to create images that express a reconnection with nature in the same ways one did as a child.

From sandcastles and collecting seashells at the beach, to running barefoot on the grass in the backyard; Eden draws on these experiences in order to help viewers rediscover their childlike wonder towards nature. This editorial invites the viewer to recognise the beauty and complexity of our relationship with our natural surroundings, and savour the captivating details that often elude our awareness.

Eden. A place of pleasure and delight.
