Description

|
This project is a pause, a series of images in quiet contemplation, a reflection on life, the choices we make and the events outside of our control.
These two different forms of representation, colour Polaroid and traditional monochrome, working in tandem, do not necessarily try to answer life's questions but are rather a chance to ask questions. for the photographer this series is a direct responce to some personal trauma that he has expereinced in recent times. This may not be a single event, but more like an accumulation of those changes that the universe throws at everyone from time to time.
The Polaroid images represent those quiet moments that we all experience, staring into space in the hope that somehow some sense can be made of it all. Focusing on anything in view that allows your consciousness to escape, if only for a fraction of a second. In these flashes one does not really see, it's a fleeting moment, a snapshot, gone before we even realise it was there.
In contrast to this the larger photographs create a paradox in which they are a more direct search for answers but end up asking only more questions. The photographer turn away from the domestic and toward nature hoping to find his path. When no clear course is found a kind of uneasiness is discovered in the blurred shapes that dominate these disturbing yet, enchanting, landscapes.
