              <text>“Rzeczy - an object that one need not, cannot, or does not wish to&#13;
give a specific name to.”&#13;
&#13;
The title "Rzeczy" might seem intimidating at first, especially to English speakers. Translated&#13;
from Polish it simply means "things”. With its jarring combination of letters, this word resonated as the perfect name for this series. It is a playful admittance of an inability to clearly articulate what drives the urge to stop and look closely. &#13;
At first glance, neither the scene nor object might seem to hold any aesthetic value. The images resist easy categorisation, and are pulled together instinctively as a cohesive compilation.&#13;
Created over the past four years, these photographs are presented alongside the launch of a zine of the same title. These relatively small format prints on display are intended to emphasise the humble nature of both subject and medium, while the varied and individual&#13;
style of the frames accentuate the diverse and humorous motifs.&#13;
&#13;
Will is a London-based photographer who sought to free himself from the self-constraints and literal weight of “pro” camera photography. He was drawn to the immediacy and simplicity of&#13;
just using his phone as a tool to take pictures, and found new freedom in capturing what&#13;
caught his eye at any moment. He celebrates mundane daily existence, revealing lightness&#13;
from under anthropogenic grit. His work aims to inspire others to find beauty in unexpected&#13;
places, to create and collect their own treasures from the everyday world around them.</text>
