Sapling Dream

Photographs I’ve taken of natural objects from my wildland property, cut up and then recombined to create a photomontage love letter to the natural world.

Sunshine

This work was mainly about composition. It started with an experiment on a photograph of an abandoned old place, which turned into an investigation of the defining characteristics of the relationship between beauty and abandonment, order and chaos, hopelessness and hope.

We are one

We are one. We are alike. We feel, we love, we trust.

City of Dawson

A portrait set against a photograph of the Old Nairobi cityscape, within the construction of the new city.

Memoirs of Lockdown

The Covid-19 pandemic affected many people’s lives in many different ways. This picture is a metaphor that describes how people reacted during isolation or lockdown; some people struggled with stress and boredom, but some handled the situation by doing activities that kept them occupied.

Moonchild

A creative portrait.

Digital Spirituality - Flexibility

Yoga and robotics/AI are two fields that are almost opposite to one another. I wanted to ask questions about how machines could interpret notions of the physical body, mind and consciousness. How could spirituality and meditation be interpreted by a thinking machine? Could artificial intelligence understand taking care of the body and finding a mental balance?

The Beach

A different beach where people come with their worries and to put an end to them, here they are diluted until they disappear.

Cubist still life #2

This is one of the images from my project "Dialogue with Art," in which I refer to my favorite artists, in this particular image by Pablo Picasso. Multi-exposure settings were used to create the image.

Bobo’s Socks

My friend’s rescued lurcher, posing in a laundry room.

Tree and Electric Wire and 「」

There are many electricity poles and electric wires in Japan's streets. In this man-made landscape, they are intertwined and interlaced with the tree branches and the natural world around them; the end result is not beautiful. I associate them with loneliness and death. At the end, I recompose the image of a devil.

The Last Resort

When I start to read a book, the door to a magical world opens. Reading is my refuge, a last resort for me.

Perun

A portrait of a pure Arabian stallion named Perun.
