I had previously visited MOPA for another photography class back on April 7th of this year. During the time I went, the two main exhibits that were being featured at the museum was The Water Holds Me by Suda House and Video Portraits by Robert Wilson. There were also a few smaller collections along with photos that were in the museum by themselves. The exhibition that I was drawn to when my boyfriend and I visited was The Water Holds Me by Suda House. Every image from the collection looked as if it was taken underwater or the subject was actually in the ocean. There was even music and underwater type noises playing throughout the space. The room was dimly lit and had a bit of blue coloring to add to the underwater feeling. I really enjoyed the concept behind all of the photos and the exhibit itself. Each piece from the photographer filled me with emotion and I felt a connection to the images. The photographs brought awareness to ocean pollution. One photo I particularly remember enjoying was Calaeno (Saving the Turtles from Plastic Bags). The photograph shows a person holding onto a sea turtle that is eating a plastic bag. The woman in the photo looks as if they are holding on so desperately to the turtle trying to save it from the trash it is consuming. It is so heartbreaking to see how all of these creatures and our oceans are hurt by pollution from humans. Even though the photos showed the horrible truth of ocean pollution they were still so beautiful as the colors and lighting flowed throughout all the images. Seeing the exhibit was an eye opening experience and made me more aware of everything we consume and produce in our day to day lives. Even with just a short trip to the beach you can find so much trash in the sand and within the water. I hope that more people continue to see the exhibit while it is being featured in the museum and also become more aware of ocean pollution. The photo I chose to recreate in my style was Alycone, an image of a person covered in trash and they seem to be placing a shell at the ocean floor. Possibly returning it to where it came from.
