Photographic works that conceptualize ambiguity: Paul Seawright’s the Forest.

Untitled - Paul Seawright The Forest

Consisting of seventeen images taken at night and lit with a warm amber light. Roadside embankments and forest tree lines are depicted. The illumination of which raises equivocal narratives open to interpretation. Is the warm orange light a gesture of safety, an urban street light, from whatever is in the night? or are they ominous car lights illuminating a landscape witnessing a macabre act?
