Ostentatious, extravagant, ornate, beautiful, and possibly the largest folly in the world, The Tour Eiffel has a place somewhere in everyone’s subconscious and (dare he say it), hearts. This appeal, and my love of the city of Paris, willed me to look at it from a different angle, I wanted to see how it was viewed from the many different residents of Paris, who can see it from their apartment windows, all around the city.

Each window frames the tower from a different distance and angle, allowing it to play a role alongside the objects within the room, almost like a fairy tale castle in a children's book. Whilst viewing the tower from different apartments, the viewer has a sense of experiencing part of the residents’ lives, sharing a connection with others who can also see it.

Paris is much more than an architectural folly - but if you wanted an anchor to view Paris from, it would probably be the iconic Tour Eiffel.

The Bird Cage Project, explored the partnership of birds and owners, prompting thoughts on confinement, without their natural habitat, fitting into a domestic home.

Whether Birds are brought in as a companion or not, their presence in the home environment  creates a visual power within the living space.

There is also a distinct likeness between the birds and the décor around them,
giving insights into different aspects of the owner's life.

While the obvious answer would be to suggest that the birds were chosen to fit into their surroundings, it is worth considering whether the colours and set-up of the homes have, in fact, been inspired by the birds

The images convey a range of colour, energy and details, capturing the change of landscape but not the view point, creating a clear narrative and profile of the birds and the owners.
