Lauren Elizabeth Jury
Ddyfodiad (Stranger)
"The 'stranger' unites 'here' and 'there'. If she stays, she may come to belong and reciprocate, or may remain detached and disinterested." The photograph creates a visual platform for the unconscious, like a dream it is a point of mid-situation, in which thoughts are expressed in images, to evoke meaning as opposed to explaining what has or is about to occur. The images are deliberately ambiguous, non-descript and at times bleak, which enable them to become void of any sense of time or cultural recognition; instead they act as a backdrop tinged with human emotion, in which the viewer can project their own feelings upon. This project has partly been inspired by Yi-Fu Tuan and his concepts of space and place. A 'sense of place' is a deeply personal and emotionally charged space and this strong bond between us and the land can form part of our individual, cultural and social identity. As a result, the images form a complex knot of experience, memory and emotion that serve to question our ardent need to belong in a multicentered society and how returning to a place that has helped shape and develop our personalities after a prolonged period of time impacts on who we are at present and who we may become.
