According to the signs posted at Bow Creek Ecology Park there are over 140 species of plants, animals, and insects that inhabit this bit of land in-between the urban landscape of the Docklands.
Not only did I go on this walk to explore the ecology park, but I wanted to absorb and document the sights and sounds. Likewise, I wanted to map out a path for future walks in case I wanted to use this park for meditation walks.
The first thought I had when entering the park is that is it nestled in-between the DLR. It amazes me that nature can exist in spaces where there is high sound pollution and se ..read more

On 29th Feb 2024 I had the opportunity to present my PhD research at the Linnean Society London, focusing on my soundscape titled ‘Wind in Trees.’
Wind in Trees explores how the sound of wind hitting the trees can promote relaxation. Likewise, I pair this soundscape with photography to stimulate the senses to encourage a deeper sense of online nature emersion.
During my talk, I showcased the creative process on how to make a nature soundscape, as well as provided a brief overview of meditation walks, and the benefits and outcomes of these walks.
