Echo beach is a fictional beach that resides along the Western coast of the South Korean peninsula. It, for those land-locked in cities and tied to the long hours of work and domestic duties, is a place of fantasy. In reality, it may also be a beach they love and one that they may never get to visit, remaining far away in time.For some, it may be a shoreline that conjures up thoughts, desires, and expectations of a long-awaited summer vacation, the notion of fun with family, and a time to relax and enjoy life in a place that for others, is one where worries can be cast to the wind, sorrows can sink into the sand, pain can be swallowed into the depths of the sea, and they can stand in solitude.Aside from the fantasy and the imagery that Echo Beach brings to mind, and the desire and pull it has for city-dwellers, the images* chosen for display in this showing, the first exhibition by amateur photographer David Kent, are those that stand, perhaps, in stark contrast to the above. They do this by not only illustrating how the reality of this fantasy and desire may play out, but the reality of what it must play out alongside - the flotsam and jetsam of refuse.
