The Way Home 2000

Tom Hunter's "The Way Home" (2000) is a large-scale color photograph that portrays a lone figure submerged in a murky body of water. The image is dominated by lush green foliage, suggesting a sense of isolation and mystery. The figure's pose and the surrounding environment create a somber and contemplative mood, prompting viewers to consider themes of vulnerability, transience, and the passage of time. The photograph is a powerful example of Hunter's social commentary, exploring the lives and experiences of marginalized communities in contemporary Britain.
