Photo essay: Glimmer
Glimmer, by photographer, artist, and educator Dulcie Wagstaff, is a photography project which examines translations of spirituality today, as they manifest in the lives of young people.
She examines how spirituality looks and feels for a younger generation who have grown up around technology, and within the confines of a society which no longer speaks comfortably about religious and spiritual beliefs.
In this reflective project, portraits of young people with spiritual practices sit alongside more abstract images which speak of their inner experiences.
The people photographed were asked for images they had taken on their phones of moments when they felt connected to their spirituality. Their low-res images were then re-photographed by Wagstaff through the surface of their phone screens.
In capturing the reflections, fingerprints, scratches and marks of the device, she records their internal worlds and the realities of contemporary life at once.
