Eyes wide open
‘Eyes wide open’ is an ode to London, a city where life explodes in million ways around us. A city where chaos reigns throughout its vibrant streets and yet, where poetic moments emerge from this excitation, this enduring thirst to move and continually reinvent itself. This series is an ode to seeing unexpected moments of wonder and curiosity amidst the messy, complex, unpredictable side of urban life. It is an ode to the mundane, and the understated, from where poetry can emerge randomly when you keep looking, you keep opening your eyes, to see further.
This series has been created using ‘pairings’ of photographs, the subtle connection between two images left open for the viewer to interpret. All photographs taken in London from 2016 to 2025.
