It’s Only Temporary

“It’s Only Temporary” - Exploring the Ephemeral; an photographic art exhibit by Nicole Leclair
Showing at The Kimberley Art gallery from May 3-28, 2023
Opening reception for the public is May 12, 7-9PM

As a photographer, I have been fascinated with capturing fleeting moments in time "It's only Temporary" • Exploring the Ephemeral is a culmination of work that seeks out beauty in the transitory nature of life.

This body of work is an exploration into the ephemerality of our existence - the idea that nothing lasts forever, that memories are muddled, and that all things pass and change. My photographs attempt to capture the beauty & relatability in these temporary moments and to remind us that some of the most meaningful experiences in life are shared experiences that we have with other humans.

Through my lens, I observe the transience of youth, ever-changing natural surroundings, and the fleeting expressions of emotion. My photographs are not meant to present a polished, perfect reality but rather a raw, authentic representation of our world as it might look in a memory.

As I continue to explore this theme in my work, I hope to encourage viewers to embrace the beauty of the temporary and to find joy in the shared moments that make life so meaningful.
