bachelor of fine arts, photography major

Third Year

This series involves the construction and photographing of “tiny worlds,” which I create out of landscape photography that attempts to capture the majesty of the natural world and sculptural elements such as figurines and crystals, to convey my vision of transcendence.

The cat figurines featured in this work, devoid of any specific physical features, are overwhelmed by the grand landscape in front of which they stand. They act as proxies for myself and the viewer, asking us to consider how photography might incite the feeling of venturing beyond oneself.

About the Artist

My work explores the concept of transcendence – the idea of existence or experience beyond the physical realm.

Through my practice, I consider how I can capture what it’s like to venture outside the physical shell that is my body and to push the boundaries of the unseen and the unknown.

My photography reflects the liberation and lightness I experience in the natural world.
