Does Water Carry Memory?

The first iterations of a new visual language I am developing for my MFA Fine Arts thesis, looking to combine my separate painting, photography and writing practices into one. Using photographs I took in the Caribbean as part of my Mellon-Tishman fellowship in the summer of 2024, I am beginning to probe the question: 'Does Water Carry Memory?' Exploring issues of climate change and environmental deterioration specific to the Caribbean, intersecting with issues like colonialism and tourism, I am beginning to develop the foundations for my thesis exhibition, opening in late March, 2025.
