306 and Counting 

306 and Counting is a project that uses methods of therapeutic photography and walking to help aid sobriety. It focuses on how these techniques can offer deeper insight into oneself. Having struggled with addiction for over 10 years and dealt with multiple relapses, I found my way into sobriety through walking. This body of work is a continuous reproduction of my ongoing journey, exploring the cyclical repetitiveness of addiction and sobriety as I learn to handle daily routines again and reflect on my growth. Projecting aspects of myself that I struggle to verbalise upon nature, this work develops a symbolic relationship with nature, invoking its ability to regrow, heal, and adjust to its surrounding environment, mirroring how humans heal.
