Liminal Landscapes

In my current body of work, Liminal Landscapes, I'm interested in simulations and challenging the notion of an objective reality by examining the ways in which we translate experiences and the tension between nature and artificiality. Photography has traditionally been considered to be a medium of “truth” due to its ability to render scenes realistically. I subvert that expectation by creating a series of images wherein I intervene by various methods-both physical and digital. These manipulations scrutinize the process of image-making and representation of the landscape to reveal the illusory nature of both photography and of reality itself. It is through this lens which I investigate perspective, representation of the landscape, the process of image-making, and how we read photographs. The larger implication is - if photographs, thought to be objective, can lie- can our senses lie as well? Is there such a thing as an objective reality?
