Artist Statement
My work explores living areas and objects that still remain alive today throughout the years of their age and decay. I’d like to bring present the neglect of these beautiful structures from a photographic viewpoint from their own period of time.
I am fascinated by black and white vintage photographs and the history that is involved with what we are left presented. The feeling of reminiscence has always inspired my work in photography. These photographs are captured in an essence that delivers the feeling of nostalgia and visually promote an antique feel. The decay and destruction in these current photographs is a natural part of life I have frozen for a certain period of time. The age will certainly advance and the decay will absolutely grow into something larger we can admire in our future.
Today, I’d like to admire the “now,” and let nature enfold the future of these structures.
(There are some additional photographs on this blog. There are two photos I used in my photo book that are not included in this post. I lost the edits. Thank you)
