Series ‘Six’ approaches photography from a meditative angle. With the word reasoning with a personal mantra I was working with during the project. The series stands to provide viewers with an invitation for the spectator to distance themselves from reality and focus on the self and their surrounding environment. Something that is rarely achieved within our technological era.

The notion of process heavily influences ‘Six’, with it being prominent within both the meditative and photographic practice. Here, process is key in exploring meditative spaces to convey how awareness, focus and time are prominent in inspiring enlightenment. As a result, the self will progress, like the print which transforms also. This is present within the darkroom, where ritual and focus mimic the meditative routine that stands heavy within the space.
