For me, photography has become an obsession.

During the past nine years, I have documented my experiences which have evolved into a visual diary, a journal, which records and reflects my everyday journeys, noting the detail, often over looked, in the hustle of our daily routine.

‘Caryl’s work focuses on observing and recording the smallest insignificant details that emanate from shadows and refraction of the sunlight. Images of neglected and once abandoned buildings, traces of the layers of history that echo a universal theme of transience, absence and presence. Her investigations have led her into a micro world that requires close inspection and a magnification process in order to record the finest minutiae.’[1]
