I did a test shoot a couple of nights ago to build upon my concept for the series In Absentia. 

This image represents the seed for the entire project.

Dissociation from the series In Absentia 2015.

I was playing hide and seek after dinner one night and as I waited to be discovered the sun gradually set to reveal the luminous iPad in the centre of our recently abandoned dinner table. Within this recreation the places remain set, the chairs positioned as though occupants are still seated around a family dinner. In place of this family gathering the iPad sits like a siren, spilling its light into the space and overwhelming the scene. 

It struck me as a perfect visual representation of the way devices and screens can disrupt our traditional moments of interaction.
