Foxes
& Trust

One fox family,
observed over time.

A photographic field journal from an urban forest, built through repeated encounters and the patience to let wild animals choose the distance.

02 / INSIDE THE FIELD JOURNAL

The story lives in
the small encounters.

A sleeping fox on a hillside. A familiar route through the ravine. Young foxes learning where to pause, play and disappear.

FIELD NOTE 01 / RETURNING

The same few hundred metres,
again and again.

What first looked ordinary became a network of routes, resting places, crossings and lookout points.

THE FAMILIAR ROUTEPLATE 01

FIELD NOTE 02 / RECOGNITION

Individual lives
emerged slowly.

Aspen and her brother learned the ravine one encounter at a time. Their different habits only became visible through returning.

FIELD NOTE 03 / CHOICE

Close doesn’t mean
domesticated.

Each encounter began with the fox deciding whether to approach, remain nearby or leave.

03 / TRUST WITHOUT TAMING

Not a story about taming foxes.
A story about being allowed closer.

The work began with observation. I returned to the same ravines, trails and stream, learning when to stop, keep my distance or leave. The foxes remained wild throughout.

Trust did not mean possession or control. It meant being briefly accepted into the landscape.
