Where Walls Grow Warm

Where Walls Grow Warm is a photographic exploration of what defines a home. Drawing inspiration from a recent house move and a local housing development, this project explores the emotional and physical layers that shape our sense of belonging. 

The series contrasts impersonal construction sites, with intimate lived-in spaces and still-life arrangements, highlighting the quiet transformation of empty spaces into homes filled with warmth, identity and life.

There are 22 images total for this series - 18 still life images and 4 landscape images.

The 4 landscape images are available for purchased - please contact for more information
