Loch Torridon

The tectonic and glacial landscapes of Torridon represent some of the oldest preserved landforms in Europe. This mountain massif has been shaped by both ice and the moraine debris from the most recent glaciers. I was particularly intrigued by the organic remnants found along the shores of the sea lochs, which are products of the surrounding mountain range and the loch itself. Evidence of the recent fires in early March was visible throughout the landscape. Among the items I discovered were sheep skulls, burnt heather, driftwood, and seaweed. These organic remnants not only carry their own histories but also evoke emotions that contribute to a new narrative. I used natural materials to create impermanent installations within the landscape, fully aware that the elements will eventually transform them. Documenting this process through photography highlights the fragility of the landscape and underscores the need for its protection.
