Through photography, artist Julie Forgues explores the spaces that exist between what was and what is yet to become. Her work focuses on transitional landscapes: sites in a state of transformation where nature and culture intersect, and where a space has not yet fully become a place, a home, or something defined.
Forgues is drawn to these “in-between” sites as places in their own right: neither entirely natural nor entirely cultural, but existing in a latent state of possibility. Through the photographic image, she makes these often-overlooked landscapes and processes of transformation visible, inviting us to consider how we understand space, place, nature, and the environments we inhabit.
