I find the human form—while limited by its transient nature, can reflect intangible ideas, as well as reflect the qualities of that person.
I have always been fascinated by the juxtaposition of the human figure and the landscape. I believe that there are undeniable similarities, contrasts, and even the combining of the two for a greater whole. Sometimes the lines in the figure mirror that of a rock or a branch or a stream. Sometimes there is a daunting, even harsh contrast between the fragile human form and the raw ruggedness of nature. For me, it cumulates to the point that they are all one and the same—both made from dust—and will return to dust, and thus interconnected.
But the figure—while lifeless in and of itself—has that which is devoid in nature—Spirit. And while Spirit is not attached to the human figure, it is reflected in multifarious forms of beauty, and reveals to us, in contrast to the comparatively lifeless landscape, how much Life we embody.
These photographs are a study of the interconnection we share with nature, and a search for revealing the Spirit we embody.
