Observing a shift towards spirituality within myself and those around me, this project seeks to examine what spirituality looks and feels like today, within a younger generation who have grown up alongside technology, and in a society which no longer speaks comfortably about spiritual and religious beliefs.
Portraits of young people with spiritual practices sit alongside more abstract images which speak of their inner experiences. The people photographed were asked for images they had taken on their phones of moments they felt connected to their spirituality. Their low-res images were then re-photographed through the surface of the phone screen, capturing the reflections, fingerprints, scratches and marks of the device – recording their internal worlds and the realities of contemporary life at once.
