Ways of Moving
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
- J.R.R Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Rings

There’s something so charming about the way we move around the world. We took two hands and two feet, and progressed from walking, running, and dancing, to cycling, sailing, driving, riding, and flying. As I have travelled across the world, one of my favourite things to discover is how people have grown to move. How different landscapes and cultures have facilitated different reliances on transport and how such reliances shape the character and life of the place. These images all seek to capture these moments of movement. They contrast in their technological complexity but are equivalent in their depiction of what it means to go on a journey.
