Between Worlds is a photographic project made years ago along the Walsall Canal, an urban environment shaped by industry, housing, and constant movement. I lived there for three years during a period defined by care, responsibility, and emotional weight, and the canal became a quiet refuge within the city—a place of temporary sanctuary.

The photographs focus on reflections in two neighbouring canals, where water, light, and motion soften the surrounding urban landscape. Trees, sky, architecture, and surface debris merge into abstract, otherworldly images, dissolving the boundary between above and below. What emerges is a sense of liminality: two worlds existing at once, fragile and fluid.

Within a dense urban setting, the canal offered moments of stillness and escape. This body of work captures that tension between containment and release, and marks an early exploration of themes that continue to run through my wider practice—reflection, transformation, and the search for quiet spaces within complex personal and social landscapes.
