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.
