In the past few months, I've been working around the theme of nuclear war, using the atomic 'shadow' images from Hiroshima and Nagasaki as my starting point. I remember learning about these tragedies in history in year 9 and even amongst images of people suffering from radiation sickness and severe burns, it was the 'shadows' I found most harrowing. The way they're created is almost like a photographic process, so with that in mind I made these photograms in the darkroom, using cut outs from my childhood photos and an acetate print of a photo I took of the clock at the Musée D'Orsay.
