Jacks Point - Landscapes in Transition

In Landscapes in Transition, I create a series of landscape photographs that document and interpret the changing relationship between nature and suburban development in Queenstown’s Jack’s Point. My images capture the evolving boundaries where natural landforms and human construction coexist, revealing both tension and harmony within these transforming spaces. I make these works to explore how suburban growth reshapes the way we see and value our environments. The project reflects my interest in the balance between development and preservation and how expansion can redefine our connection to the natural world. By photographing these evolving landscapes, I aim to invite viewers to reflect on the visual and emotional consequences of change, and to consider what is gained and lost as human presence extends further into nature. Ultimately, my purpose is to encourage awareness of this fragile coexistence and to inspire more mindful engagement with the landscapes we inhabit.
