Today, the majority of people live in urban or semi-urban environments, experiencing the landscape from a distanced position mediated through technology and various media. Stars stems from Ellie Davies’ desire to find some balance between the wild places of her youth, and a pervasive sense of disconnectedness from the natural world. Mature and ancient forest landscapes are interposed with images of the Milky Way, Omega Centauri, the Norma Galaxy and embryonic stars in the Nebula NGC 346, captured by the Hubble Telescope. The series considers the fragility of our relationship with the natural world.
