This project explores gardens not as cultivated landscapes, but as portals—thresholds into realms that blur the boundaries between the familiar and the fantastical. Through this series of images, Otherworld reimagines these spaces as dreamlike environments, rich with symbolism, memory, and myth.

Drawing inspiration from folklore, mysticism, and the natural cycles of growth and decay, the work presents gardens as liminal zones—places where the wild and the tamed coexist, and where time feels suspended. Whether overgrown and feral or meticulously curated, each garden becomes a stage for transformation, a site where the mundane turns magical.

The project embraces both natural light and atmospheric manipulation—mist, shadow, and seasonal shifts—to enhance the surreal quality of the images. The viewer is invited to wander through these spaces with a sense of wonder and uncertainty, encountering fragments of the uncanny.

Ultimately, Otherworld is a meditation on hidden realms—on how beauty, mystery, and the sacred might be tucked just behind the hedgerow, waiting to be seen with new eyes.
