In my work I mainly deal with the concept and theme of a spiritual journey and reconnecting with nature and developing a spiritual journey within myself. I use my camera as a looking glass to seeing things in a new and abstracted way whether that be nature or my body. By combining nature and my body together, You begin to see connections between the earth and body and how they can become one again. I use the Zen Buddhism lifestyle of “wabi sabi” as a process of appreciating beauty in the naturally imperfect world in my work. “wabi sabi” is a way of living that focuses on finding beauty within imperfections of life and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay. I combine analogue and digital processes together to create abstracted images of nature and the body. By using analogue processes it allows me to slow down and connect with my work and subject matter I am working with a lot more. By using this technique I am able to create an abstracted image without a camera. This technique allows me to connect with the subject matter and I have a lot more control over it.
