Yesterday afternoon, an incident occurred near my work desk that made me realize the importance of post-traumatic therapy. While not excessively traumatic, it took me some time to grasp the impact of what I witnessed. I didn't recognize the signs of someone about to have an epileptic fit.

In 2012, I was drawn to the idea of capturing the multi-dimensional views of Adelaide's inner city architecture through street photography. My goal was to showcase the intricate relationship between the city's built environment and the bustling life that unfolds within it.
