Arms Around You
The photograph is a self portrait that depicts a body draped across a large sheet of plastic, on top of a rock. Behind the body is a large cliff face. The image was taken atCompton Bay on the Isle Of Wight, England. Plastic symbolises dissonance and disconnection, in this image it is preventing contact to the environment. Arms around you aims to examine our place within the landscape and highlights a desire and need to be close to this.
