Exist is an ongoing project taken over the span of nearly a decade, depicting many changes in season and place. The focus of this work; animals, nature and passing moments can be seen as a metaphor depicting the nature of a human soul.
Nature holds the power to reflect messages or moods back to the viewer, to touch the part of one’s being which it mirrors. Photography holds the power to seize in an instant an energy that is timeless and omnipresent. These images show an invisible line between my own existence and the subjects; two energy fields meeting to become one, even if only for that moment. This is a phenomenon only a camera can make possible. The images turn present to past with the click of a shutter; yet allow the past to live on in the present.
Through the frame of a still image, the capture of pure energy and emotion can become a lasting visual and tangible experience. Exist shares seemingly ordinary, daily moments in order to reveal their extraordinary nature. By taking the time to pause an ever moving and changing existence, what is revealed is the eternal, fleeting nature and spirit found in a single moment.
