It is often the case that outer space and the cosmos are perceived through a scientific and technological filter, partly due to how our entire relationship with the cosmos is mediated by government bodies and space agencies. However, outer space and its celestial bodies are no less natural than any living organism on Earth. From city pigeons, to the hair on your arms, to the gases of Jupiter, it all comes down to natural phenomena, and everything that once seemed so distant and alien can, in fact, feel quite close indeed.
With this shift in perspective, Signals aims to conjure the cosmos within the photography studio through human bodies and commonly found objects. Taking inspiration from "behind-the-scenes" images from NASA laboratories, the materiality present within them, and the space probes constructed there, the aim was to bring a sense of closeness and touch to a subject that is perceived to be so distant and out of reach.
