The ‘Injurious Development’ series uses old family photos, combined with contemporary animal photography to create ridiculous and hypothetical evolutionary stages.

“Man selects for his own good; Nature for that of the being to which she tends” - Charles Darwin, ‘Origin of Species’

This quote is an integral part of the work, focusing on Darwinian ideas of natural selection and the human desire to modify their physicality. These images are intended to reinforce the fact that we are the most recent page in a beautiful novel of human development, and that evolution and history defines who we are, questioning the need for body modifications; whilst questioning the boundaries between humans and animals.
