Image Study combines photography and braille to reflect on and contemplate the meaning of photographs. What power do photographs have over us? What codes and connotations are driving visual literacy? And what might we be projecting when we look at a photograph? Utilising braille, the work further explores ideas of accessibility and privilege.
As a first iteration of this idea, I turned to photographs from my family archive to explore meanings within my own personal journey of understanding biracial psyche.
