Constructed Landscapes 
is a photographic series that explores the intersection of human intervention and natural form. Through the use of artificial lighting and careful composition, I transform man-made environments such as excavation sites and other altered geographies into surreal, atmospheric spaces.

These landscapes, once shaped by human activity, are reimagined as unfamiliar terrains, inviting viewers to reconsider the boundaries between the natural and the constructed. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the textures and forms of these spaces, highlighting their complexity and quiet intensity. This series seeks to challenge perceptions of landscape, prompting a dialogue about the impact of human activity on the environment and the potential for unexpected visual resonance in overlooked places.
