Mobile Phone City
What kind of impact has digital technology had on our lives? Do mobile phones bring human beings closer together or do we become isolated in our own digital world? Are we closer to the natural environment of the planet or are we disconnected from it? These are some of the questions I’ve tried to address in this photomontage which is made from five separate images.

London In A Rice Field
During the 19th century London grew rapidly. It was the largest city in the world from about 1825, the world’s largest port, and the heart of international finance and trade. Nevertheless Whitechapel was still quite rural at the start of the 19th century. Early engravings and paintings of the Whitechapel hospital show it surrounded by fields. Viewing those images and taking into account how London has depended on immigration I decided to combine an image from Bangladesh with a view of the city taken from a tower block in Whitechapel. I started combining images from different countries in 2009. I do this to emphasise how humanity is connected worldwide. The links between Bangladesh and East London are manifold.
