death

Ocean's sorrow is a Photographic series dedicate to every missing life from 26th December Tsunami disaster. When I arrived to the effect area there was around 2000 report missing person hang around the wall. While most of them shown highly hope to found the person alive this hope were wash away by time as more and more identify bodies found. My work concern not the missing bodies but the missing relationship between us who alive and those who pass away. To be relate mean to be in contact and contact must be something direct not from a represent image. For me as an artist who witness this traumatic event. I use photographic as a mean of expression rather than document this disastrous event in historical evidence. By reveal the damage condition of the image I suggest that like those life that pass away the image in photographic also subject to decay by time.
