Grid Of Transit

Multicoloured shipping containers stacked in a tall grid behind a wire fence, with scrubby green plants in the foreground at a port in Melbourne.

Grid Of Transit. 2021.

A wall of containers becomes a kind of accidental architecture, each unit stamped with logos, numbers, rust and tape, all locked into a strict grid. The fence and shrubs along the bottom anchor the scene back in the real world, hinting at scale and distance. The picture leans into repetition and minor variation, inviting you to read each panel as a separate story while still feeling the weight of the whole structure pressing in from the frame edges.

70 mm f/5.6 1/320 sec, ISO 200.
