Abstract
The artist's statement: Exploring is an integral part on how I create my work. By constantly exploring different locations, I find that my photographs have a subtle thread of connections. Whether it's looking at nature and finding peace within the entanglement of trees or photographing the everyday through the nooks and crannies, my way of photographing is looking into the details of one broader area. I often search for the small details within an area especially when exploring nature. I take inspiration to Robert Adams and how he photographs forest areas to express the subtle damage and chaos in consuming trees. With my interest in photographing trees, I often find myself looking for these kinds of areas to further explore the overlooked and it's something I continue to express in my way of observing. I see it as looking for moment of peace within the chaos. With limiting myself to one area and working with few materials, it created a view on how I photograph. By playing with cloth, threads, and fibers, I found that my work has been an autobiographical exploration on my photography. It becomes a look at the struggles within the chaos, the experimentation on different materials, and finally making a reaching point into what I find in these photographs.
