Integument

Integument is a photographic series that explores the outer surfaces of animals, including skin, scales, feathers, and fur, through intimate and abstract close-up imagery. By isolating texture, pattern, and form, the work transforms familiar animal features into almost unrecognisable landscapes of detail, encouraging viewers to look beyond the whole creature and focus on the complexity of its surface. The series highlights the intricate structures, rhythms, and natural designs that make up an animals identity, drawing attention to the beauty and diversity embedded within the layers that protect and define living beings.
