My work has centered around a phenomenological, systems-based inquiry into humanity's contemporary relationship with the five classical elements – earth, air, fire, water, and aether. The resulting images examine the environment, seeking to decipher our complex, evolving relationships to nature, technology, and each other. I strive to challenge my assumptions and deepen my understanding of our environment and materiality. My newest work questions the long-term sustainability of present-day living and reveals the struggles – both practically and psychologically – of inhabiting a planet we are slowly destroying.
