27 | Thalassa’s Whisper | Kaye Forster | $2200 | I used 60-year old Ilford photographic paper, and a vintage exposure process.

Thalassa’s Whisper evokes contemplation of a hidden world, suspended within the mysterious beauty of our life-sustaining waterways. It is a poetic reflection on how nature nurtures and gives silently, endlessly, and without demand. The viewer is invited to pause, and listen to — a whisper of life, flowing just beneath our awareness.
