This series started in 2016 when my reality was being shaped by the recent deaths of three family members among other events in my life. The geometric collage of photos is designed to represent the manufactured perspective of one's reality. Each tile where the singular photos rest provide an example of unfiltered reality. Deconstructing the collage reveals evidence of the undeniable beauty that simply exists in a natural state.

I began photographing and recording the locations where I spent time with my family, captivated by the unique richness of a landscape. In the studio, these intimate snapshots-all taken with the immediacy of iPhone photos- are cropped and flipped into abstracted scenes with minimal manipulation. The fragmented images of my surroundings call attention to the beauty within the simple elements of nature: the subtle gradation of a sunset or the soft transition between the sky and sea. Although geometric and seemingly balanced by the human mind, each composition exists skewed, camouflaged by personal perspective, much like the debilitating effect we inflict on our reality. My photo collages reflect on the underlying disconnect between our experiences and self-constructed versions of reality against a natural unfiltered reality where we exist but often can't recognize or appreciated.

Each title is accompanied by the longitude, latitude, date and time. This is important because it grounds the concept in terms that are specific to the piece.

Hunting at The Preserve at Dundee is a Virginia tradition that started over 200 years ago. Just north of Richmond, our vast hunting preserve has been cultivated and strategically prepared for upland hunting. Arrive at 9 AM for a short safety briefing and check-in, then head out for the morning hunt. In the field, you'll expect to see a mixed bag of quail, pheasant, and chukar. Your guide will lead you through the various hunting environments of The Preserve, including pine forests, sloping hills, and flat farmland. Watch the dogs find and point both wild and released birds throughout your 3 hours in the field. Relax back at the house between hunts, enjoy a locally catered lunch, and prepare for the afternoon. The second hunt will continue until 4:00 pm, when you'll return back to the house for hors d'ouevres and drinks. Share stories and lies around the firepit, as we prepare your birds for taking home! Includes 2 hunts with unlimited bird privileges, Guides, Lunch, Dogs, Bird cleaning and preparation, and post hunt hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
