The Intersection Between Land and Humans

For me, photography is a reflection of my experiences. I find that landscape photography is an act of introspection, a type of meditation. The intersection between the land and humans is becoming smaller and smaller. Sometimes it is just a piece of trash on a road, other times it is much more evident. With this series of photographs, I am examining the ever-encroaching evidence of humans and questioning if there is any pristine land left. What I found is that there is a lot of hidden disfigurement of the land. I kept challenging myself to go further and further away from my little city and found that I just couldn’t get away from the scars that were left.  This body of work is informed by the landscape artists from the New Topographics.
