Resolution - the Power of Innuendo is a photographic
exhibition that focuses on the suggestion, as opposed to the spectacle of
violence.
Exposed on a daily basis to violent images, the photographic medium offers
the viewer a safe space to witness atrocities. The photograph had been
used to capture, expose, manipulate and sell violent realities, and in the
process desensitise the viewing public.

The relationships created on the exhibition through
the juxtaposition of artworks investigates the ease at which images can be
manipulated through context. The works selected avoid spectacle in the
hopes that innuendo will draw the viewer into a space, where they can
engage openly with the content.
