Caroline Sohie | Lay Down Your Heart (2024)

The coastline is a liminal space, where histories of promise and loss converge. Once a threshold of return for caravan porters, it was also a final shore for those taken, never to return. The image evokes the unsettling beauty of a place shaped by colonial rule, slave and resource extraction, and now by the pressures of globalised infrastructure investments. Beneath the idyllic surface, a latent tension lingers, where memory and modernity entwine.
