Artist’s Statement – A Story of Absence
"My sole objective as an artist is to make the viewer feel, experience, and be captivated by nature’s infinite, grand, and masterfully created sculptures. My images are merely a portal to be present and to see and experience this world as I do, through my eyes.
The further we become detached from nature, the stronger my need to investigate and explore the intimacy and overwhelmingly temporal, silencing power I experience, whilst alone in nature. My passion is to capture these experiences, allowing the viewer to feel what I feel, to embrace what I embrace and realize the need to relish and protect the enriched undoubtedly sheer beauty and essence of our home, our planet, our very existence."
