Taking its bearings from the adage that seeing is believing, Second Sight assumes a cynical vantage on our collective relationship with spirituality, faith, ritual and the performative. Photography itself is ritualistic and performative; as such, Walker posits her practice to operate in a kind of unlikely parallel to that of spiritual practices. Similar to those who project meaning onto refracted light, this body of work re-contextualises and uses the connection between images to depict a new grasp on reality – the artist's own spiritual space.
