Precious [And Fragile Things]

I was very much inspired by troubled and somewhat confronting lyrics to “Precious” by UK outfit 'Depeche Mode' when assembling this particular triptych. The fragile nature of the weathered and broken monuments had a certain beauty despite the disturbing presence.
The lyrics to the song can be interpreted in many different ways and I guess for the most part, so can the images presented here.

Dedicated to the memory of my late cousins Andrew Stuart and Patrick Arthur whose problematic lives ended in suicide.

    Melbourne’s reputation as one of the world’s most livable – and most photographed – cities isn’t accidental. Graffiti-lined laneways double as open-air galleries, espresso aromas drift through every street corner, and golden beaches sit within reach of historic architecture. A true creative hub, Melbourne blends old-world charm with a forward-thinking arts scene, inviting you to explore diverse food, perfect coffee, and vibrant communities that shape its ever-evolving identity.

    Perth, Australia’s most isolated city, has a way of balancing urban buzz with laid-back calm. Known as Boorloo in Nyungar, the indigenous language of the region, Perth is a hub for Western Australia’s thriving art scene and home to breathtaking natural landscapes. Local markets, cozy bars, alt music venues and art spaces set the pace, but it’s the coastline that truly shines. Miles of wild beaches stretch north and south, and big open skies will keep you inspired.
