Featuring documentary images, performative image-documents, and constructed imagery, the series conflates multiple modes of photographic practice in order to create an expanding photographic epic. By combining an almost diaristic photographic practice with a photographic engagement with broader contemporary themes, a unique photographic project is created that disregards traditional single-strategy modes of photographic practice.

The sometimes visually disparate results beckon the viewer to actively navigate the place where, conceptually, the images coalesce. This place is not only filled with the pleasure of looking, but observations, musings, and an uncertainty that seeks to empathize with an audience in the predicament of the same-shared world.
