"Mother and children on the beach"
Pasqui R
Soft Pastel On 360g Paper - 24 Inches x 32 Inches
|
On a Normandy beach, I walk with my camera. I notice a woman and her two children, one small, isolated. The mother a little further contemplates the landscape, her other child very close to her, static. It's a simple and vibrant moment of life. The loneliness of each member of the family, both close and far from each other and magnified in the marine landscape. Each body is registered in a different way, each being exists alone and with the other, with and in the landscape. If the bodies were to come out of the landscape, to be isolated, it would remain the posture of the bodies, and the landscape would be recreated by our imagination.The soft colors of the pastel evoke the maternal sweetness, the nostalgia of a childhood memory that remains universal.
