BW 35mm film
In order to heal the planet, we must first heal our spiritual connection to it. Through my photographic and video work, I explore the presence and absence of the body as a way to express a deep yearning for a better, yet-to-be-imagined future. My practice often examines how our environments shape our consciousness and how the relationship between a place and its inhabitants is symbiotic. This summer, I used B&W film photography to capture the abandoned holes people dig at the beach, using 35 mm Ilford HP5 Plus and Holga 120 film to explore this connection further.
