Rachael Short’s Potential to Become Another documents evidence of human presence through female figures placed within environments containing remnants of man-made waste. The exposed figure represents nature and the vulnerability and perceived purity of humanity, while discarded objects reflect what human beings leave behind and their potential to transform, decay, and become something else. Short describes the project as deeply personal, with some photographs serving as self-portraits and the series photographed in a place she once called home. The images are silver gelatin prints, with the warmer-toned works produced as lith prints using Kodalith developer.
