Voices of the South Atlantic examines issues of war and its consequences. Rooted in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War, it includes the voices of people who fought on both sides, as well as civilians who were directly affected by it.
The premise of this work is that fear and loss are universal and that pain and trauma affect both the losers and the winners.
Colour photographs of landscapes of the islands and black and white seascapes of the South Atlantic act as visual metaphors that allude to feelings of menace, courage and fear, at the same time showing physical traces of war.
Through juxtaposing photographs of scarred landscapes with testimonies from British and Argentine veterans and Falkland Islanders, a dialogue is established between the time needed for the terrain to heal and the period the men themselves need to recover.
