Breathing Space - “A photographic Journey “by Maayan Rimmer

BREATHING SPACE

Maayan Rimmer moved to Perth with her partner and six-month-old daughter in January 2020, just before the borders of WA were closed due to COVID-19. She left behind a thriving photography business focused on sports and motion commercial photography and videography, and this transition provided the opertunity to step back and consider her next steps.

Coming from a very intense, loud, and fast-paced country, and after facing some personal loss, Western Australia became a breathing space for Maayan. She finally had time to unwind and reflect on her inner self.

The camera was always within her reach, she couldn't stop capturing the experience of immersing herself in a new culture, starting a new life as a young mom, far from her own family.

The stunning scenery of WA inspired Maayan to dream and visualize what it means to be free. Only after a few years did she realise what drew her to landscape photography - it was the feeling of being able to take a breath from the intensity of life and just be in the moment.

Maayan has participated in group exhibitions in Perth before, but this is her first solo exhibition. She hopes to inspire others to take a moment to breathe, look around, and appreciate the place they are in.
