Walking Through began during the photographer's walks over a five-year period. The photographs were taken in the area surrounding his parents' home, where he grew up in the North-East of England. Using a combination of analogue photography and text written by the artist, the work unfolds like an extended poem, fluidly shifting between past and present, the external landscape, and the internal self.

The series considers the nature of memory itself—its elasticity, contradictions, and inevitable distortions. Memories are not fixed; they shift and reshape over time, bending to the needs of the present. They leave us questioning not only what we remember, but why we remember it in a particular way. In this shifting terrain, memory does not merely retrieve the past—it recreates it.

The act of walking in repetitive loops reflects the cyclical nature of grief, mirroring the recurring patterns of thought and behavior that loss so often imposes. The work serves as a poignant reminder of how our past shapes us and is never truly left behind; it continues to echo within us and the quiet places we return to.
