Though born in Australia, I spent much of my childhood in the American South. Like so many landscapes, it is at once both enchantingly beautiful and darkly sinister, everything richly steeped in a complex history, and yet there is a distinctive spirit to this place that has soaked into my bones like no other. Even now, so many miles and years away, it still stirs deeply inside me and I long for it. These images are a documentation of my journey to reconnect with this place and at the same time a memento of places I love like family but may never see again: images depicting both a return to home and a farewell.
