“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
— Dorothea Lange

"Along the Ayrshire coast, the shoreline becomes a palimpsest — a layered record of time’s passing. In these works, the rigid lines of human design stand against the shifting softness of the natural world.

The first image reveals where sand, grass, and concrete intertwine — the boundaries between man-made and organic blurred. Here, dunes rise and fall around fragments of defence, the wild grasses weaving themselves through rusted wire.
The second image captures a monolithic sea wall, its weathered surface etched by salt, wind, and rain. Once a fortress against the tide, it now wears the colours and shadows of the elements, as if nature were quietly reclaiming it with her brush.

Together, these images speak of a coastline caught in dialogue — a push and pull between permanence and erosion, control and surrender, human ambition and the patient persistence of the sea."
