Projects
I tend to take photos with the intention of fitting them into one project or another. In this context, a project is a collection of photos with an underlying message.
This, my latest project, is a documentation of the beauty I've found surrounding Death. Viewer discretion is advised.
This, the final project of my third year of undergrad, is about the concept of leaving. The project is split into three distinct sections: the desire to leave, actually leaving, and being gone.
This project was made in about an hour and a half in my old college apartment. Over the course of my time there, our table saw a great many things. This project is an attempt to document that.
Our lives are based around keeping track of ourselves and ensuring we remember everything. This project explores what happens when we forget.
Most people are around to see the daily sunset, but how many of them actually stop and appreciate it? This project is about life at or around dusk.
Everybody knows that there is a daily sunrise, but how many actually experience it? This project is a documentation of that phenomenon.
This, my first ever project, is based on the knowledge that, although we would like to believe that humans are at the top of the food chain, it's only a matter of time before our civilization comes crumbling down.
