Mergence

Mergence aims to expand upon the ideas of transition, change and discovery through its subject matter and technical processes. Within each photograph adolescent characters, one male and one female, are depicted in both natural and artificial environments. The teenage characters are themselves at an age of transition and their actions tell of journey and exploration. Each photograph is built from dozens of images arranged to make a cohesive whole, however seam lines between the individual images, samplings of the characters’ clothing patterns and computer code from the digital file itself are visible in the work.
