Final Work, MA Photographic Studies, University of Westminster, London
This is a personal exploration of the materials in the photograph, dissociating them from their traditional narrative meanings; rather than existing as independent physical objects, they become part of something else. These fragments let viewers decide how they want to experience the work and redefine the suggested space.
By opening the frame, the process separates all the elements that make up a framed photograph and rearranges them to provide an experience that challenges conventional ways of engaging with photography. The viewer is encouraged to look beyond the frame, engaging with the work not as a two-dimensional surface but as a space to move around. This approach suggests multiple ways to experience the work, as its appearance shifts with its surroundings. I intend to question whether a photograph can become something else without losing its integrity.

I find the photograph's independence most compelling. Balance between elements defining a space.
