London: Under Watch
A six-print collection imagining London as a monitored city of surveillance, transit control, authoritarian architecture, and quiet resistance.
A city remade
London: Under Watch reimagines the city as a controlled metropolis shaped by surveillance, command architecture, and constant public messaging. Familiar streets become monitored corridors, civic landmarks become instruments of obedience, and movement itself is absorbed into the logic of control.
Across the collection, each print captures a different fragment of that system — towers, transit, checkpoints, warnings, and the quiet spaces where resistance still survives. Together they form a portrait of London not as it is, but as a city remade by power, pressure, and the people forced to live beneath its gaze.

How a city becomes a system
Each collection is built from recurring signs of control.
01
The city was redesigned to be legible
London did not fall into control by accident. Streets were widened, sightlines cleared, transport hubs rebuilt, and civic zones restructured so that movement could be tracked and behaviour could be anticipated. What appears efficient on the surface is, underneath, a city made easier to read, sort, and govern.
Urban redesign
02
Infrastructure became the real authority
The most powerful systems are not always visible as laws or leaders. In this London, power lives in barriers, scanners, transport gates, drone paths, and access-controlled routes. People encounter authority through systems first, long before they ever encounter a human face behind it.
System power
03
Public life became performative
Once every square, bridge, station, and riverside route could be watched, public life changed shape. People learned to move carefully, gather briefly, and avoid drawing attention. The city still appears active, but much of what remains in public is ritual, compliance, and behaviour shaped by the knowledge of being seen.
Observed behaviour
04
Resistance survived through fragments
Opposition did not disappear. It changed form. It moved into scraps of paper, rerouted signals, erased markings, hidden meeting points, and unofficial maps of the blind spots between systems. The resistance in London: Under Watch is not a single force. It is a scattered intelligence held together by memory, improvisation, and trust.
