Why would I photograph here?
I use photography to explore neglected and abandoned worlds, allowing me to create stories about the contradiction of beauty and decay. My subjects have taken on new life through decay. They tell stories of past and present—what once was, what remains, and what new life emerges from the ravages of time and neglect.
My subject matter reveals our collective past, institutional culture, social history, and the order and chaos of nature. These images urge the viewer to rekindle connections and feelings with our past and those elements of society that have been reduced to elusive memories.
