HUMAN-NATURE CONNECT, 2023
Created during a residency at Rydal Hall in the Lake District, this body of work emerges from eco-somatic practices that explore the intimate, embodied connection between humans and the natural world. Rooted in presence, movement, and attentive listening, the project seeks to translate these sensory and emotional encounters into visual form-inviting you to reconsider your own relationality with the more-than-human.

SHELL COMPANY, 2024
In collaboration with oysters and shells salvaged from seafood restaurant waste, this work is an exploration of entanglement-between human and non-human, matter and memory, waste and renewal. Using liquid emulsion and analogue processes, I invite the more-than-human (specifically oysters and shells) to become co-authors in the image-making process.
Developed during the Darkroom Experimentations residency, supported by Bow Arts and Lakeside Darkroom in London, this body of work questions the boundaries of authorship, agency, and materiality. Their textures, traces, and histories imprint themselves onto the photographic surface, forming a quiet dialogue between body, ecology, and light.

SYMBIOSIS, ONGOING
Symbiosis explores the psychological toll of climate change, emphasizing the profound interconnection between psyche and land. Drawing on Robin Wall Kimmerer’s teachings on reciprocity and Indigenous ecological knowledge, the work reflects on how environmental disconnection fuels both ecological degradation and mental distress.
As urban sprawl and technological detachment grow, climate-related stressors (heat islands, droughts, wildfires, rising seas) intensify physical and emotional strain. Robin Cooper of the Climate Psychiatry Alliance stresses that climate change is a critical mental health issue.
By visualizing vulnerability, Symbiosis invites emotional reflection and reimagines healing through renewed relationships with the earth. We are not separate from nature, but of it-its rhythms echo within us. To care for the land is to care for ourselves.

NOCTURNAL SUN / DUST, 2022
These photographs were developed during the Snape Maltings residency, supported by Britten Pears Arts. The series documents Chisara Agor’s development of Movement I, part of Nocturnal Sun - an interdisciplinary project that weaves together music, movement, and visual art to explore themes of human history, spirituality, and ecology.
The first chapter, Dust, imagines a future shaped by the slow death of our nearest star. Set against this cosmic backdrop, it reflects on humanity’s enduring relationship with the sun-its symbolism, power, and fragility. Through intimate and atmospheric imagery, the photographs trace the evolution of Agor’s process, capturing moments of embodied reflection and creative transformation within the unique environment of the Snape Maltings residency.
