Fang is a personal visual exploration of the power of place in the rousing of trauma, stemming from the real experience of being trapped in Catarroja, Valencia, during the devastating DANA floods of October 29, 2024. Surrounded by deep, violent-moving waters on a small mound in a field, without any sign of help, the artist mentally mapped out countless possible escape routes—each ultimately impossible to take. In the following months, while navigating the altered streets of her town to mudlark for supplies, the artist was forced to confront flashbulb memories; the remnants of both the disaster and what had become a futile imagined path to safety. Fang examines the interplay between trauma, memory, and reconstruction, using image-making as a way to see and process anew. Fang does not seek to document the flood itself, but rather the psychological and emotional terrain left in its wake. It is an exercise in reclaiming the act of looking—an attempt to reconcile what was imagined with what remains and to accentuate the lack of support for hundreds of thousands of Valencian residents who on that day and in the months to follow were left without warning, help or salvation.

Quiet Walk began during the photographer’s walks over a five-year period in the North-East of England, near his childhood home. Combining analogue photography with text, the series unfolds like a long poem—shifting between past and present, outer landscape and inner reflection.

​

At its heart, the project explores the elasticity of memory and the lingering shape of grief. Prompted by the early loss of a close friend, the work traces how absence reshapes both place and self. The photographs, taken long after the moment has passed, hold space for what is no longer there.

​

Through repeated walks and quiet observation, Quiet Walk becomes an act of reconciliation—with memory, with loss, and with the landscapes that carry them.

ne’er such a thing’, a photographic correspondence between artists Rada Nastai and Freya Brooke Verona Copeland grew from a mutual sense of displacement and loss. In their attempt to recover, the artists drew from a patchwork of surviving remnants from said loss, so as to fabricate a whole-cloth.

The book navigates non-existence within the confines of a five-chapter narrative in which semiotic symbols become the driving force. By delving into their individual archives, the artists have brought together collected artefacts and authored images repurposing them while employing an array of photographic processes.

The book is unified by the visual motifs of light destroying details, while in other images, dark shadows loom to the same destructive effect.
