San Diego-based artist Annie Claflin uses photography to navigate identity, mental health, and memory. In this interview, she discusses her series Undertow, which explores the fragile boundary between land and sea through altered pigment prints and distressed photo-objects. By submerging, warping, and weathering images of the San Diego coast, Claflin evokes the erosion of memory, place, and self in the face of sea level rise.

Terri Warpinski’s photography explores the complex relationship between land, memory, and human presence. Blurring the line between documentary and abstraction, her series Restless Earth examines landscapes scarred by borders, conflict, and environmental shifts, revealing how place becomes a vessel for personal and political histories.
