Feeling incredibly grateful.
Seeing my work installed at Gold Coast Hospital is something I don’t take lightly. Any time someone chooses my photography I’m genuinely stoked, but this project was something else.
This installation is part of the new Acute Cognitive Unit (ACU) and Geriatric Evaluation Management (GEM) wards, where the focus wasn’t just on filling walls, but on choosing artwork with real purpose. Hearing from the team about creating a dementia-enabling environment, and how imagery can support comfort, familiarity and orientation, was incredibly humbling.
The brief was to select work that felt realistic, relatable and calming, from sunrises and sunsets that help with orientation, to beaches and native wildlife that feel familiar and grounding. Knowing these images will help patients and families feel more at ease in what can be a challenging time means more to me than I can put into words.
Who would’ve thought all those years ago that picking up a camera would lead to my work living in spaces like this, bringing a bit of life and warmth to people across the world.
If you’ve followed my journey from day one, thank you. Your support honestly means everything. 🙏
