My photographs pursue an instinctual connection to the world around me. I’m drawn to the delicate details of the desert landscape, how shadow can mirror the shape of a cactus, how light can appear to echo from a figure, and how a simple organic form can be reconstructed. For me, shadows are as tangible as people or objects that one can physically touch. |
