Solvitur Ambulando

“Solvitur ambulando” - it is solved by walking (Latin).
Some images made whilst walking in the Australian bush earlier this year. Moments when I have felt calm, present, rooted to the earth & focused. The act of walking simultaneously soothes my mind whilst providing the sensory stimulation I constantly crave.
When I walk my senses are activated instead of distracted - my feet crunching on foliage as one foot follows another, my ears listening to birdsong and pausing to hear wind whistling through trees, my eyes watching new landscapes and views unfold ahead of me, my nose breathing in all the scents in the air.
These Polaroid images of landscapes, made whilst walking, have been submerged in and degraded by Lisdexamfetamine (my ADHD stimulant medication).
