Artist Statement
By making the choice to define ourselves we give voice to our existence, thus appropriating the power within us.This instinct for power is often sublimated into expressions of nobility. What we recognize as being noble can be compared to the latent possibilities of a seedling in nature. The seed may well grow into a tall tree with deep roots, flourishing, providing life for the rest of the forest. It may fall and lay itself down to be the mulch that sustains a new seedling. We of nature also are coming into being.
By aestheticising the moment, photographically, I am creating truths based upon my own experiences and values. The process of creating truth fulfills a need to actualize my own existence. The Pathos of nobility manifests itself in the act of creating truth rather than in the truth itself.
