Art, Photography, Stories & Travel
by : David Mythen
Welcome
Thank you for visiting my site.
This is the third time I’ve updated this introduction in the past year. The pace at which the world is changing has reshaped my vision and dreams for both my work and this space—faster than I ever expected. What began as a simple photography and art website is now transforming into something broader. Increasingly, I find myself needing to express the weight of emotion and the urgency to speak out in these fractious times.
So, I’m shaking things up. This site will evolve into a canvas for varied expressions and themes. I plan to keep expanding my photography, digital art, and visual experiments. But I’m also adding writing to the mix—stories, essays, and occasional travel reflections. My main focus, however, will be on both visual and written works that aim to challenge—or soothe—the current depressive drift toward the global normalization of authoritarianism.
While I continue building the photography and digital art catalogue, I’ve also begun working on a story set in a near-future dystopia. Alongside that, I’m exploring ideas for a self-reflective essay examining how technology is impacting our personal and political capacities for critical reasoning.
I try to approach my work with as little bias as possible—seeking to capture moments and thoughts for what they are and share them openly. Still, considering where we are today and the state of the world, it feels more important than ever to move beyond isolated observations and engage with deeper, more urgent themes.
