Invisible Bodies
The images in this work depict the detailed surface morphology of sand grains, taken from locations of conflict. Each a witness, each a testament to that which has transpired. Through abstraction they invite the attendee to explore their surface in search of evidence of those who have suffered as a consequence of conflict. The concept behind the work is inspired by the medium of late photography, a genre that distinguishes itself through its perspective on conflict, and the process of looking at the past in absent landscapes, vacant buildings, and detritus denoting an action or event. To quote Barbie Zelizer, “people have borne witness to atrocity for as long as wars have been waged, bearing witness has changed with technology.”
