Photography major, Sean Berry, suffered a retinal detachment about three years ago. This was at the time when he would be taking his most important photography classes. Throughout his light therapies to regain vision, he found a new and more contemplative appreciation for “unfocused light, shadow, and color”. Berry describes it as the “area in-between”. The title here there be…, refers to what “was provided on ancient maps as a warning for unexplored territories of potential danger”. Sean Berry’s exhibit lets the viewer take in the subtle details but also see the photographs from the emotional state of the photographer.
