Press Release: Jack Nelson’s "Travels Through Soul"

Jack Nelson’s latest photography exhibition, Travels Through Soul, explores themes of memory, travel, and the connections formed along the way. The work captures the intertwining of time, place, and experience, showcasing Nelson’s personal travels and cultural encounters. Each photograph layers multiple images taken on the same day, creating a visual record that mimics the flow of thoughts and moments. Nelson’s technique reveals the in-between spaces, or elements that “would otherwise be lost in a normal image.”. He describes his work as a fusion of photography, sculpture, and jewelry-making, aiming to evoke an unexplainable atmosphere. The exhibition features images from Nelson’s travels to Morocco, Scotland, Oman, Yemen, the United States, and more. His multicultural upbringing in Mozambique, Oman, and London deeply influences his work, which is both a personal and emotional journey. Nelson’s photography reflects his interactions with people from diverse cultures, attempting to capture the essence of their worlds and his experiences. For Nelson, Travels Through Soul represents his quest to document not only his own soul but also the stories and memories of the people and places he encounters. In a fast-paced world, his photographs serve as a visual journal, preserving fleeting moments before they vanish.
