What Comes Around, a moodier sister series to What Goes Around, is an abstract photographic series created with found seashells and intentional camera movement techniques.
The shell of a mollusc is complex in its formation and composition, contributing to functions relating to protection, camouflage, storage, reproduction, and communication.
This series examines suggestions of femininity, fertility, intimacy, and vulnerability. What similarities might be observed between these objects - once home to living beings - and ourselves? The ICM technique (moving the camera by hand during the exposure) softens the imagery, alluding to motion and the passage of time.
I explore the idea that an object or a situation may present contradictory qualities. The subjects and themes of these images are simultaneously fragile/durable; timeless/impermanent; perfect/imperfect; real/surreal.
What might a seashell reveal to us about our bodies, our needs, our homes, and what we leave behind?
