My photographic collages serve as a metaphor for anticipation, those moments when
the unknown is being revealed. Pivotal moments when life turns a corner into new and
exciting phases, a heightening of our awareness that brings us fully into the moment of
discovering what's next.
The implied act of opening the boxes, releases the energy of the occupants, allowing
them to take flight. The people and objects confined within, through the simple act of
unfolding, are exposed revealing what was previously hidden. I try to convey
excitement, and energy in images that are playful, expressive, and nostalgically bring
the viewer back to the joyful moments of anticipation felt in childhood.
The unusual and dissimilar combination of people and cardboard boxes is visually
unified through the repetition of angles. Despite pairing such disparate elements, I bring
them together harmoniously to form images with visual impact, and are frankly, fun to
look at.
