When Sara Macel discovered a suitcase full of photographs belonging to her deceased grand-mother, she unearthed an unknown chapter in her family history that led to Hollywood, Florida. In this seaside town that appears lost in time, Macel retraces her grandmother's footsteps while also photographing the land-scape, her mother, and herself. By interspers-ing medium-format color photographs with her grandmother's black-and-white images from the 1940s and her mother's color snap-shots from the 1970s, a visual conversation emerges.What Did the Deep Sea Say explores the private lives of women dealing with their own unique circumstances at different points in time while swimming in the same waters. New York--based visual artist Sara Macel's work has been widely exhibited and is in the collec-tions of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Light Work, and others. She is the recipient of the Aaron Siskind Foundation Fellowship.
