On Stillness and Movement *

Morocco, 2023

These photographs were produced during a research visit to Morocco and reflect an ongoing interest in how everyday life is shaped by place, movement, and collective experience. The images attend to moments of ordinary activity unfolding within rapidly changing urban and coastal environments.

The photographs explore the relationship between people and landscape. Beaches become sites of gathering, recreation, and community; coastlines reveal the meeting point between natural and built environments; expanding urban skylines speak to processes of growth, aspiration, and transformation.

As with my wider research practice, photography functions here as a form of observation and reflection. The images are not intended as comprehensive representations of Morocco, but as situated encounters with particular places and moments. They invite consideration of how everyday activities, from sport and leisure to movement through public space, contribute to the social production of place.

Viewed together, the photographs offer a visual meditation on participation, belonging, `everyday architecture and the ways in which communities inhabit and reshape their environments.
