“Forgotten Spaces” explores the overlooked environments we pass through without notice—spaces that sit on the periphery of attention in both urban and rural settings across the UK. These are not landmark locations or curated views, but the in-between: edges, gaps, and fragments of the built and natural world that quietly recede into the background.
“To me, photography is the art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…”
Elliott Erwitt
In a culture shaped by constant image-making and visibility, these spaces remain largely unseen. They resist spectacle. They do not announce themselves. Yet they form the texture of everyday life—the routes we take, the places we pause, the environments we inhabit without truly registering.
Working in a restrained, observational style, the photographs draw attention back to these neglected scenes. By isolating and framing them, the project asks what it means to revisit what we routinely overlook—and how attention itself can reshape our relationship with the familiar.
