‘A Young Man Sees’ is an introspective narrative presented as a series of black and white vignettes. The body of work is characterised by isolated subjects with very little to distract the viewer.
For ‘A Young Man Sees’, I wanted to create a considered series containing symbols and artifacts; stripped back subjects with open ended narratives. I wanted to invite the viewer to ask questions (to themselves) and wonder over the meaning of each subject. Each of the subjects has meaning to me but I felt that it was important not to share that meaning with the viewer right away - to not affect their journey.
