DOCUMENTARY
PROJECTS
A Slow Violence, examines the interconnected struggles for survival amid climate collapse across physical, social, and environmental spaces. Treating environmental instability as a threat multiplier, the work investigates how climate change manifests through long-term, cumulative harm. Organised not by geography or chronology but as a map of emotional terrain, the project expands how environmental collapse can be understood.
Howland moved to Iraq in 2017 to document the fight against ISIS, then the latest chapter in a near-unbroken sequence of conflicts following the US-led invasion of 2003. This work culminated in Leave and Let Us Go, a seven-year, multimodal project that challenges Western perceptions of Iraq by re-examining how geopolitical events and their impacts are represented.
It Was Our Turn Today is a documentary photography project examining wildfires and volunteer first responders in Greece. The work explores the lived realities of the climate crisis, environmental instability, and community-led emergency response across fire-prone regions.
The 88km of Mosul Road has become the point of transition from the relative normalcy of Erbil to the chaos prevailing on the Mosul frontline and I have documented each kilometre of it. Starting from the Citadel in the centre of Erbil to al-Nuri Mosque: the man sitting outside his storefront smoking a cigarette, local markets coming to life after a year of war, a city flattened by airstrikes, this stretch of landscape has been collaged together in a single, un-curated, panoramic image that attempts to draw the viewer into the reality of living in a place affected by war. You see that they carry on, seemingly unfazed at times, in their destroyed neighbourhoods. The juxtaposition of normal life in a place of chaos seems impossible, but it is a familiar reality here.
The Cardiology Unit focuses on IDPs from the Abkhazia War who are now scattered throughout Tbilisi, Georgia, and are still struggling to survive 25 years following the war sparked by the breakup of the U.S.S.R between Georgian and Abkhazian separatists.
Buried in the heart of Tbilisi, Georgia, sits a Soviet era Ritz Carlton. Equal parts Grand Budapest Hotel and The Shining, Hotel Georgia is a nearly abandoned hotel visited by just a handful of guests per year and maintained by 3 employees, all of whom hold IDP (Internally Displaced Person) status from the Abkhazia Conflict in 1992.
