STATEMENT
This series focuses on four distinct urban landscapes within the United States. Using rivers as an anchor point for each city, the images ask questions about sustaining life during a climate emergency. While processing the film, I often manipulate it with local natural resources exploring the tension and delicate balance in our natural and built environments.
Site specific research on local histories, climate-reaffirming practices, and possible futures drive this project. The series first began with images made for an exhibit on abstract photography.–
