Some Days It Feels Like Yesterday, Some Days It Feels Like Forever Ago

From the glitz and glamour of Waikiki to the rural beaches of Haleiwa, ‘Some Days It Feels Like Yesterday, Some Days It Feels Like Forever Ago’ depicts the contrast between the big city life of Hawaii and its local north shore neighbourhoods that are rarely depicted in modern media. This body of work allows the audience to peek behind the curtain of the tourism daydream that has been built upon for decades
into a sun-kissed tropical mirage.

Anything Worth Having Is Worth Waiting For

In August of 2022 I travelled to Singapore for the third time. Each trip has brought about pivotal teachings in my personal growth of self and this time was no different. The lonely traveller has only time for discovery.

Posseshot - A.D.I.D.A.S.

From their inception 10 years ago, Posseshot have been making their mark on Australia’s underground Hip Hop scene.
The group consists of K.H.A and Mr. Muscles, a rapper and producer duo.

From their production and lyrics to the tattoos on their skin, the clothes on their backs and the art in their hands, Posseshot are one of the most authentic music groups to represent the city of Melbourne. They’re true to the art of Hip Hop and true to the culture, one in which they’re shaping through their consistent efforts of involving themselves with their fans & the wider community of their city.

'All Day I Dream About Steez' follows the pair over the span of 3 days, documenting their process of making something out of nothing. In the short time spent creating this body of work, the group were faced with the sudden passing of a dear friend and dedicated fan of Posseshot as well as Melbourne’s 6th lockdown. These photographs are the raw depiction of those moments accompanied by heavy-hearted thoughts on their lifestyle.

Set in Stone

“From 2019 to 2022 I walked the streets of Melbourne in search of love. These walks resulted in the reoccurring discovery of heart felt dedications that were carved into stone. The act (or more so instinct) to profess your love in this unique way has been passed down from generation to generation for years. After I found one, another would appear a few streets away and then another. Each walk now brought my eyes to the ground, I became fixated on trying my luck with finding another dedication. The more I took notice and focused on this idea, the more these acts of love appeared before me. Not one of them the same in style, only in thought. There is something so appealing to a gesture that is done with only one person in mind. What a joy it is to be able to give back to someone you truly care for.
How nice it is to be thought of. I did this for you.

Over this 3 year period, I travelled from the East to the North, West and South of Melbourne, stumbling upon 100+ different dedications that had set in the stone of the footpath beneath my feet. This zine is a physical collection of these acts of love in a Risograph form. To love, is to fully let go of oneself, to be left bare and without fear. When you are presented with love, accept it, whether or not you feel you truly deserve it, welcome it. You can convince yourself over and over that you don’t, but you do." - Wilhelm Philipp
