Island presents My image is a lens, a solo exhibition by Rowan Renee. Transforming the gallery into an immersive darkroom, Renee revisits a decade of self-portraits using stained glass negatives. Through light, water, and sound, the work reimagines photographic tools as metaphors for healing. Prints curl and overlap, disrupting the frame and inviting new ways of seeing. Renee's tactile process reflects shifting perception, suggesting that memory, like the body, can evolve toward freedom.
