With the help of a GoFundMe campaign and social media,
I created the exhibition titled ‘Eternal Youth’.
During this project I photographed people close to me for over a year,
focusing on self-reflection and self-consciousness.
I explored the contrasts and similarities between the young and the elderly.
I discovered that they have different attitudes to beauty, but share similar feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Approaching and ending adulthood, both groups are experiencing things
for the first and the last time.
-
The profits from sales of the books and prints were donated
to the charities Age UK and Young Minds
who support mental health in the young and elderly.
-
The show was sponsored by Hahnemühle and Metro Imaging.
-
The exhibition was on display at JM Gallery, 230 Portobello Road in London
from 6-8th March 2020.
-
More than 1000 people visited 'Eternal Youth' over the weekend.
-
'Eternal Youth' gained press coverage online from British Journal of Photography to i-D and Aesthetica
