Broken

Written by Addison Guskey on .

“Broken” is a study of contrasts, much like photography is a study in the contrast of light; love and loss, before and after, healed and broken. This collection of wet plate silver collodion tintypes accompanied by the subject’s corresponding story of heartache, betrayal and loss is a deep-dive into how the death of a relationship can feel like the death of the self. How heartbreak can resonate as a physical sensation within the body. How trust can be shattered leaving a soul vulnerable and raw.
