What Did the Deep Sea Say

When Sara Macel discovered a suitcase full of photographs belonging to her deceased grand mother, she unearthed an unknown chapter in her family history that led to Hollywood, Florida. In this seaside town that appears lost in time, Macel retraces her grandmother's footsteps while also photographing the land - scape, her mother, and herself. By interspersing medium- format colour photographs with her grandmother's black- and -white images from the 1940s and her mother's colour snap shots from the 1970s, a visual conversation emerges. What Did the Deep Sea Say explores the private lives of women dealing with their own unique circumstances at different points in time while swimming in the same waters.
