Paul Sousek, being lifted by four officers to a police van, Just Stop
Oil requires all protesters to participate in a ten-hour training
session before they may participate in a protest where they are taught
to go limp and lay down after arrest, forcing officers to carry
arrestees. This method is often frowned upon by the public due to
the requirement of more officers on duty, therefore using taxpayer money.

Just Stop Oil
Just Stop Oil is a UK climate activist organization who are known for traffic obstructions and civil resistance to oppose the licensing
of new gas and oil production, but are they really helping the cause that they are campaigning for? In this photojournalistic style
series, I took a look into the infamous establishment primarily known for the 2022 M25 protest, getting to know some of the
members and leaders, and deeply researching their views, actions and publicity. The focus of this study was their November 2023
campaign, which was planned to coincide with their most prolific protesters trials, at the royal courts of justice, where eleven
members were tried in late October. majority of UK citizens agree that climate change is an issue, a survey from Bristol
University found that 68% of participants disapprove of the organization, with some arguing the methods used actually prevent the
public from supporting climate change campaigns by giving the mission a bad name. So, with their main aim to simply bring the
public and politicians' attention to the issue, are they really helping or hurting the climate cause?
Shambles
“Shambles” is an ongoing photo series documenting the chaos of my childhood home, shaped by my parents’ hoarding habits. These images capture the extravagant mess I grew up in, the layers of objects and memory within the space, revealing how disorder shaped my emotional landscape. This work is both a confrontation and a reflection: an attempt to find clarity in the wreckage of a space that was never truly mine.

Essence
Essence offers a deeply personal exploration of my adult relationship with my sister during
our time living in the same city after four years of separation. This series delves into the
nuances of our sibling connection, tracing elements that have endured since childhood and
evolved over the years. The initial inspiration for this project stemmed from William
Wordsworth’s poem ‘To A Butterfly,’ where he expresses nostalgia for childhood and deep
affection for his sister Dorothy. The series unfolds across three occasions: a casual evening in
my sister’s flat, a day out in Deptford, and a visit to our childhood home. Lydia Goldblatt’s
work, Fugue, played a significant role in shaping the composition of these images.
The Perpetual Sub-Bass
The Perpetual Sub-Bass is a photographic and mixed media project that explores the systemic absence and underacknowledgment of women within the drum and bass (DnB) music scene. The work responds to personal and collective experiences of marginalisation in spaces shaped by male dominance, focusing on the quiet violence often overlooked.
