These photographs were made across Britain between 2006 and 2025. Over that time the country has continued to grapple with the legacies of empire and the long aftermath of industrial decline, alongside the forces of globalisation and an increasingly digital world.
The pictures move through landscapes, towns and everyday situations, observing how traces of these histories remain embedded in the fabric of the country. Symbols of national identity, fragments of industry and the quieter details of ordinary life appear side by side, suggesting how the past continues to shape the present.
Taken together, the photographs form a loose portrait of Britain at a particular moment — where older narratives persist amid the forces reshaping the country.
