The Straight Way Lost, Act II, Image 1, 2026
Opening image from Act II of The Straight Way Lost, photographed at Merrickville Lockstation on the Rideau Canal. The project explores transition, perception, and psychological landscape through a winter psychogeographic journey along the canal system. The softened focus, elongated reflections, and fractured vertical forms introduce the middle sequence’s themes of instability, disorientation, and passage through liminal space.
