Fragile

Fragile: In the last few years, I had traveled extensively, photographing both rural and urban landscapes. My photographs seek to convey my sense that the physical world – both natural and manmade – is fragile and transient. Both the object and the subject in each photograph are part of an existing countryside, an urban landscape or a massive structure. My specific observation developed a personal dialogue and meaning between the surroundings and myself: what was part of a massive glass or marble building is now a fragile, minimal line floating in space. The subject in the photograph is removed from its original context. The abstracted shapes are inde-finable and can no longer be connected to their natural habitat. Thus, these photographs are not an accurate representation of their environment, but rather a fragment that stimulated my creative expression towards fragility and vulnerability. It is through these unchangeable landscapes and rigid structures where I reinvented an anonymous place, conveying the idea that even the most immense, detailed and infinite creations can vanish. Ultimately, however, everything solid melts into air.
