The safety and stillness of the land to the danger and perpetual movement of the sea. Photographs can encourage the viewer to consider the coastline not simply as a geographical boundary, but as a place of tension and transition.The exhibition asks where one environment ends and the other begins and whether such a boundary can ever truly be fixedPhotographers are asked to explore this theme however they wish, whether focusing on one aspect or both in their submissions.
