Kellie North: Sound of Silence

Queensland-based photographer Kellie North’s ‘Sound of Silence’ explores the duality of silence, as both a curse and a gift through her evocative and ethereal photographs which stage billowing, floating fabric amongst wildflowers. Evoking the image of Ophelia from Hamlet, North strikes a balance between alluring fragility and eerie darkness, demanding the viewer to reconsider the nature of silence and isolation: simultaneously a state of peace and a place of dark loneliness.
