The title is taken from a poem the esteemed poet Robert Kelly wrote in response to the work. With "Voice of Silence," I likewise reference Rachel Carson’s "Silent Spring," in still images, video, and site-responsive indoor and outdoor installations.

Where light, water, rocks, and trees meet, photographs are made on-site with a single exposure by manipulating the lens’s focal properties, pushing the boundaries of its representation. The process unfolds with a rigorous intuition in a union between body, mind, apparatus, and ecology. Keen observation, sensory awareness, temporality, and life-forces shape the absorption of attention.

Invention inspired by neuroscience's knowledge of abstraction's effect on feeling, imagination, and spirit animates the work's complexity, countering digital dehumanization. I aim to defamiliarize and expand the everyday language of the lens that structures today’s over-saturated information environment, to conceive an ecology of vision.

The regenerative potential of the natural environment—and our inseparable relationship with it—manifests in immersive images that encourage the viewer’s awareness, connection, and care, urging its preservation and repair in this period of profound loss on the planet.
