You’ll Never Walk Alone explores the layered relationship between solitude, presence, and connection. Each photograph emerges from a daily walking practice—an embodied form of thinking, observing, and listening. While the images often depict moments of quiet or emptiness, they are also inhabited by unseen presences: ancestors, spirits, memories, and the landscapes themselves. Through walking, I come to understand that solitude is never absolute; the world is always walking with you.
My process unfolds outdoors, with what I call my stroller office—a mobile studio where I carry my camera, notebooks, and books as I move through the coastal landscapes near Randwick, in the eastern part of Sydney. Walking becomes a form of research and meditation. I write fragments (my lexicon), and poems as I walk, mapping the texture of thought and movement. My photographs grow out of these written traces—moments where body, language, and landscape meet.
Rooted in photography but extending into film and writing, my practice follows the lineage of artists and thinkers who see walking as an act of attention. Each step opens a dialogue—with place, with history, with those who came before. In this way, You’ll Never Walk Alone becomes both a document of landscape and an invocation of kinship: a reminder that even in solitude, we are accompanied—by the invisible, the remembered, our ancestors, and what is yet-to-come. The accompanying poem derives from a series of reflections recorded on my walks.
