Caelum et Terram by Molly Sheehan, `19. ✨💫✨ Check out Molly`s thesis exhibition for her MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design in our art gallery. 📸
Inspired by a Catholic teaching that describes the coming together of heaven and earth at mass, the work of Caelum et Terra, the Latin translation for heaven and earth, uses the photograph as an object to create a visual to this spoken teaching. Caelum et Terram is a body of work that explores the ability to create a connection with the divine by physically altering the photograph and challenging its ability beyond a transparent object.
