So excited to see my new photographic exploration “The Seven Circuits of a Pearl” as one of the finalists of Gomma Photography Grant- Main Category!

The series is a journey through the early Australian pearling industry; one of explorers, forced labour, shipwrecks, death, wealth, secrecy and power, as recorded through maritime expeditions and settler colonialism in the South Seas.

Big thanks to the jury: Diane Smyth (British Journal of Photography/ independent), Linda Zhengová (Discarded magazine), Russell Joslin (Skeleton Key Press), Chiara Ruberti (Photolux Festival), Erik Vroons (GUP magazine), Michael Itkoff (Daylight magazine) and Gianluca Gamberini (L’Artiere) and congrats to all finalists!
