Many of us are trying to do better as consumers, reducing unnatural materials like plastic, foods pumped full of preservatives and mass produced goods that prioritise quantity over quality from our lives. We opt for things made ethically, with care and to last. We look for buzz words like natural, pure and raw. In short, we want it unprocessed.

Yet ‘process’ is intrinsically tied to… well, everything. Fermentation turns yeast into wine. Photosynthesis turns light into the air we breathe. Our gut turns food into energy. For anything to be made, it must undergo a process. Recycling is a process. An artist has a creative process. As a photographer, I post-process my images.

This series documents processes driven by purpose, sustainability and meaning in an aim to explore this dichotomy. It suggests that perhaps we shouldn’t differentiate between what’s processed and what’s not, but rather that we should consider how something is processed. If it is made with these principles in mind, improves our wellbeing and enhances the spaces we inhabit, that seems well-worth supporting.
