ABOUT THIS HOARDING EXHIBIT
“I’m Not On My Own Tonight” is a series of photography based artworks by Farihah Aliyah Shah who drew on her own experiences and blends suburban domestic with urban spaces. Inspired by the exposed timber in T3’s building, the natural elements in the work replace and coincide with the buildings. These artworks were created using a combination of analog (film), digital photography and Photoshop.
