“ There are two ways of spreading light… To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.”
Lightscapes is an illuminating voyage through moments in the lives of young people from South East London, aged between 9 - 17, that both shine and reflect.
As they collectively connect stories of place and presence, we see shifts in perspective of earth and sky.
The light that shapes and reflects, from flowing water to tubes of paint, forms a discerning depiction of how they see things.
Lightscapes offers an insightful and lyrical journey, that invites the viewer in.
