Walking Through Lockdown is a documentary of my own experiences of lockdown. The lockdown phase was, (and still is) a straining period, and it can affect many different people in many different ways. For me, it drained any inch of motivation and gratefulness out of me. I took to walking as a form of mindfulness, to let go of any negative thoughts and embrace the countryside, that I am lucky enough to be surrounded by. The images in this series explore the issues of mental health through landscapes and portraits. Inspired by the words of Robert Macfarlane, ‘He not only thought on paths and of them but also with them. For paths run through people as surely as they run through places.’
