This series of un-manipulated photographs began as an enquiry into medieval European history, with reference to the Peace of Westphalia and the emergence of the Westphalian State System after the calamity of the 30 years war. As I researched the establishment of early European consensus networks the project developed into a broader exploration of the human propensity to organise and boundary.
This work aims to explore the primitive aspiration to carve habitable order out of chaos. The drive toward dominion that spanned millennia prior to the modern era and continues today.
