A Portrait of Impermanence: Confronting Life's Fragility

Statement of Intent

Born out of my recent recovery from cancer, this project is a reflection of survival and transformation. Through 21 photographs taken every 213 kilometres from the west to east coast of Australia, I document my bare feet as a symbol of resilience and the journey forward.

Each original photograph is paired with an AI-generated image influenced by an iconic Australian painting from the early 1800s to the present day. The metaphor of the diptychs’ represent the merging of personal experience with cutting-edge technology, illustrating how new tools can help us find new meaning and expression after life's challenges.

My aim is to invite viewers to contemplate the themes of impermanence, resilience, and the emergence of new beginnings in the face of adversity.
