This collection of photographs consists of a visual investigation into the intimate exchange between the human form and the natural landscape. Looking to identify the points in which both forms meet and co-exist as well as the manner in which they inevitably alter and destroy one another. Juxtaposing magnified detailed studies of the human body with photographs of the Rio Tinto river in Spain, known for its deep red hues caused by the acid mine drainage from the various mines in the region.
Using the viewfinder to build compositions and sketches of the moments they intercept further questioning our interconnectivity as forms.The duotone images strip away any distractions and allow the focus to remain on the genuine form and structure paired with the beautifully illusive red tone that the river holds—directly conveying the disruption and violation of nature.
Initially I used photography first as a medium to make observations through a 4:5 ratio and then secondly in the studio by experimenting with scale and sequencing in either the format of an installation or book to further convey the overall idea. Having spent a large portion of my upbringing and current life in very isolated natural environments, nature as a form presence and phenomena of the physical world will collectively continue to contribute to my future works and practice.
