‘Green Grass’ 2024 - ongoing WIP.

Green Grass is a series of medium format portraits, capturing people who inspire me in my hometown.

I’m sure everyone has heard the phrase ‘the grass is greener on the other side’.

Well.. I grew up my whole life believing in this statement, which resulted in never feeling peaceful within myself or content within my life.

Through this ongoing work in progress personal project, I’ve decided to challenge the original concept and rather ‘water my own grass’ by paying attention to where I am and focusing on finding inspiration in the place I’ve grown up and spent most of my life so far.. a place so ordinary to me. By meeting interesting individuals who have given me a fresh, new perspective on my hometown- one which is more positive. And in return, I am beginning to find that inner peace and contentment I’ve been seeking elsewhere for so many years.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my project so far and has helped shift my mindset and change my attitude on my hometown into a much more hopeful and enlightened one. I hope this project can bring others light in their lives and it be a reminder that ‘the grass is greener where you water it’.
