By the Sea

This series was shot while on a trip through the provinces of Normandy and Brittany in the north of France. The events that took place here were of crucial importance to ending World War II. This work tries to capture that landscape with its history in mind. Although one could say these are ‘guilty landscapes’, because the series does represent the cruelties of war that occurred here, it’s not just about their dark pasts. It shows a place where Europe found her hope again, and where there was a shift that saved who knows how many lives. It’s a story about bravery, struggle, and finally, salvation.
