“Returning to Soil” is a photographic series exploring the tradition of Black Caribbean funerals in the UK. This work is a contemporary contribution towards a living archive of the Black quotidian, acting as a capsule of sorts – encapsulating the histories of a generation of the Caribbean community (the Windrush generation) who are passing away and the legacy that remains in their absence.

This work specifically focuses on the quiet moments of solitude, ancestral acts of ritualised service and poignant moments of connection - thus, contributing to the long-standing histories of the Black family archive.
