Statement
These images explore the themes of place, belonging, migration and memory and are explored by a mediative hands on approach, leading to transformed, folded and constructed imagery. The folded images are metaphors for the treatment migrants and concealed within the folds lie the unjust truths.
A keen photographer since her teens, De's inspiration comes from both travel and memories of her Scottish roots. She is deeply inspired by migration, architecture and the impact of gentrification to neighborhoods.
