My photography explores transformations in the human relationship to nature in a world tethered to industrialization. It is an investigation into the consciousness and agency of the perceivably inanimate (stones, wheat, aluminum etc.) and questions how they shape and are shaped by systems of State organization. Through this lens the work aims to challenge the paradigm of separation that is imbued in us by way of capitalism. I focus on how our current systems atomize us from more intimate and connective experiences with the nature around us, not to mention one another.
