Sand & Water
This series was made for enjoyment. For the viewer to look at them and recall their own experiences with sand & water.
Observing Sand & Water, I watched as they move together and how they thrive on their own. They are a team. They create a balance. As human beings, we travel from afar for these experiences. At the beach, we feel at ease in its presence, yet, we also go to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Sand dunes allow us to get lost in landscapes. Looking at them separately, sand, is solid but also flexible, it gives us a place to go on a journey. Water can be dreamy, flexible, and show us reflection. Life exists in both places. I wanted to capture their beauty & strength in their own way as well as together.
I feel it is important now more than ever to take notice to nature. With our climate crisis, opening our minds to new ways of looking at nature must happen. It is important, if we want to have a future.
These photographs were made between the fall of 2015 and the summer of 2018.
Lay in the sand
Conscious
Water comes in around you as you float
Subconscious
Let your feet feel at home in the sand
Set sail for your dreams
