(“The
Plunging Ocean” by Sarah Best)
Currently running at Durban Girls College
is their annual DGC matric exhibition. The above image shows Sarah Best’s
impressive sea glass exam artwork, The Plunging
Ocean, each piece of glass in picked up on the Durban shores – all unique
and complete different.
“Each and every piece of glass began somewhere and most times – this origin
remains unknown,” she explains. “Each piece I collected had a hidden story
behind its being and I would never know this. On some of the glass pieces, I
have transferred images of my own photographs. The photos encapsulate my
memories and things that are a part of my background. We are all from different
backgrounds and families and we all experience different things or either, the
same things but differently. This makes us unique – we are influenced by the
sea around us and we slowly but surely are transformed by the power of nature.
And we escape this ocean being nothing but extraordinary.”
The exhibition is housed in the Trust House
studios as well as in the boardroom at Durban Girls College and it will run
until November 8.
