As part of a yearly collaboration with the London College of Communication, Aesthetica presents an exciting list of emerging artists who utilise photography as a medium through which to highlight, accentuate and solidify the transient intimacy of human nature. Delicately veiled windowsills, empty living rooms, open lakes and bordered skies provide a reflective lens through which to grapple with universal emotions: isolation, stasis, ennui, and perhaps ultimately, a sense of personal or collective potential. Influenced by a myriad of diverse locations and cultural identities, each image builds upon a larger narrative that demonstrates the phenomena of contemporary existence. Traversing the elements of the organic world with faceless figures, each vignette casts a sensitive eye over its subjects, yet maintains a successful and potent sense of distance. The featured images are at once deeply effective and enigmatic – a true showcase of graduate talent.
