Coastal Alchemy

Brooks turns to the coast not to document, but to transform. Beach landscapes, dunes, and sea oats become subjects for chemical intervention—film submerged in experimental baths that react with salt air, light, and time. The resulting images capture something beyond what the eye sees: coastal scenes reimagined through unpredictable reactions, where natural beauty meets intentional chaos. These works bridge the familiar and the impossible, offering collectors coastal imagery that exists nowhere else in contemporary photography.
