Unbound

Ravens Ancient and Modern

Unbound follows ravens through cities, ruins, coastlines, monuments, and abandoned structures across different parts of the world.

The raven appears as a witness moving through places where human systems have shifted, eroded, survived, or disappeared. From Rome to Tokyo, New York to Athens, the collection treats history as something still unfolding rather than something completed.
