In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?

Growing up amongst Green Party and environmental campaigners, I learnt from a young age about our relationship with the natural world and the importance of such. From the age of seven, I was passionate about environmental justice and how I could explore such with photography. Now my work revolves around working with different groups fighting to defend nature.

What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?

For me, mutual respect and understanding is key to being a part of any collective community or ecosystem, whether that be within human groups or the greater natural world; recognizing that we are never a singular and that our actions and behaviors will always have an impact on others or a wider system. I believe prioritizing such thought is an essential step in living within a harmonious and thriving ecosystem.
