(2016 – 2018)

Our memories are not the exact reality of the moment in which we experienced them. They are subjective and disjointed, coloured with every aspect of ourselves. They are given meaning through the emotion we attach to them, both at the time of making and upon reflection as we grow and change. Memories are powerful in the way we rely on them to form our identity. They are a record we keep. Images, whether real or imagined, can provide and enhance access to these memories. In approaching this series I was seeking to capture an atmosphere as opposed to a defined reality. I relied more on my senses and emotions in an attempt to channel my own memories of a life spent by the ocean.
