"The Ferrous Skin" investigates the tactile boundaries of industrial infrastructure, treating steel not as inert matter, but as a weathered, protective epidermis. By isolating the rivets, seams, and oxidised surfaces of heavy machinery, the series highlights the organic qualities of industrial decay. These images explore the tension between the rigid geometry of engineering and the fluid transformation of corrosion. It is a study of the "skin" of an era—a silent record of the endurance and eventual surrender of man-made structures.
