“Wayward Summer” is a project about all the moments that make a summer. “Life Escape” was taken in one of those moments, while I watched my daughter in the deep end and floated disconnectedly trying to cool myself and find my way.
Sara Markese approaches photography as she did cherished treasure walks as a child, letting her eye be caught and emotion and visual wonder guide the image. She uses simple elements of nature, daily life and common objects, and childhood themes of wonder, hiding, seeking and peeking to create feeling mementos in each photograph.
