Raffan had commenced the work with a series of photographic collages, constructed from alchemical groupings. Broken down into images of ice, icebergs, snow, water, rocks, sand, crystals, moss, lichen, seagrass and spinifex, Raffan grouped the works into three series; H2O, Minerals and H2O/oxygen/flora.

Memory orbs , collections of small incredible moments in time, gathered together to make something other, uncategorised and magical. The Memory orbs (minerals)  series was a selected finalist for the Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award 2015.
