The End of The Grove is a mixed-media photobook which explores the fear of loss rooted in generational trauma. The early passing of men, shaped by disadvantaged upbringings and risk-taking, amplifies our fear of loss. Set against the backdrop of Gravesend industrial park and the Kent marshland, our lives are moulded by the flow of the river. Inspired by Charles Dickens novel, Great Expectations, The End of The Grove is a quest for redemption amidst insurmountable odds, expressed through visual and written art. It stands as a testament to our pursuit of a better life.
