2023 Senior Thesis Work

There is something about freezing moments in time and being able to relive them later. I grew up in a rural area and lived on a farm so when I started taking pictures it was of my pets, the farm, and my family. My sense of place has always had profound meaning in my life. Because of this, I have always noticed how elements in an environment have repeating rhythmic patterns. Desensitized by our modern surroundings, it’s hard to see our relationships with nature. In my journey, I find peace with the world’s natural elements. This process is unique to me; I can escape by paying attention to the details around me. Through this exploration, I have created prints that explore the rhythm, scale, and texture that occur naturally, to reveal the truth and connection that may be lost.
