Abstract: Honorable Mention 2024 (professional)
Far North Continuum No 16. by Simon Ellingworth (United Kingdom)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
As a neurodivergent person, I experience the sensory world viscerally and in fine detail, which I register and process as distinct and differentiated layers or parallel ‘tracks’.
Through my creative process and vision as a photographic artist, I find ways to make sense of my experience and the world around me.
The individual images of this series were shot as a stream of consciousness in the far north of Scotland before creating centre-weighted triptychs in which fragmented moments take on cohesion through the relationship of visual connection and narrative.
This is a visual metaphor for two people (represented by the outer two panels) who’ve had different life experiences, but carry similar emotional wounds, represented by the similarities in juxtaposition to the differences. The central panel depicts a coming together in both a physical and spiritual way, the lower horizon is the darkness they must face, before aligning and ascending to the higher horizon line.
