Invisible Waves revisits Sydney through illuminated windows, water after dark, and fireworks briefly tracing the outlines of buildings. Photographs made at different times are layered and reconstructed, allowing separate moments to occupy the same space.

Reflections cross architectural boundaries, while interiors and exteriors merge. The city appears both inhabited and remembered, its familiar contours shifting with each overlap. Memories carried from elsewhere meet the routines and encounters of life in Sydney. The images linger between the immediacy of being somewhere and the distance from which it is recalled.

Drawing on Francis’s experiences of living across countries and cultures, the series considers how identity and belonging take shape through an accumulation of places, encounters, and attachments. These overlapping spaces invite viewers to reflect on how a city becomes part of who we are, even as our lives continue beyond it.
