This submission explores questions surrounding the quotidian life. We seek enlightenment in some form, and yet are trapped in a corporeal existence embodied in day-to-day obligations. What is the value of routine? Does life unfold despite or because of the daily grind? Are we the most significant participants in our own destinies, or is there a greater purpose or power that guides our trajectories? My intent with these photos is to ask these questions by embracing the universal condition of humans being.
