About the book
Freya Najade captures moments of unexpected beauty and curious encounters in east London's abundant Hackney Marshes. Focussing on the intricate balance of the wildlife and people who find freedom in the open fields and riverbanks, these visually arresting images - many taken during the confined days of the pandemic - remind us of the hidden poetry in the city's landscapes. From young bathers escaping lockdown to patches of overgrown woodland, Najade embraces the natural exuberance of these wilder spaces while mourning the damage we do to them.
