Series: Beyond & Between

Series: Beyond & Between

Beyond & Between witnesses the disintegrating beauty of the natural world and our own culpability in its demise. This is the dilemma of modern existence: our planet’s health, and our own, suffers as a result of what we deem human progress. The series extends previous documentary work into a more personal and poetic mode, with images spanning 5 years and countries.
 As a consideration of what it means to exist in the 21st century, this work explores our relationship with the photographic image—how one can affect the reading of another; and how they bring both individual meanings and a collective dialogue. In these images, I ask myself—and invite viewers to ask—about the nuanced nature of our relationship with the world.
