The images in Fluid are all constructions. Although made entirely on location, they are not documentaries of natural disaster. They are created environments that delve into the very depths of our relationship with water on this planet. From famine caused by drought, to tsunamis, and the very question of global warming itself. These are the issues. Not intending to seek out gratification from the difficult content, the photographs will describe the need for more awareness and to stand as a reminder that nature, in its truest sense of the sublime, does not care who we are.

In 2005, I began working on a grant from the Creative Capital Foundation for the creation of an underwater photographic series entitled, Fluid. Using myself as the model, the images describe human interaction with water ranging from drowning to drought. They are a portrayal of the environmental impact of societies and the complex meaning of water in our world. This series is created in all types of water from swamps and bathtubs, to sewers, oceans and the ubiquitous desert oasis.

The Struggle to Right Oneself, 2002-present
|
| |
Philosopher Martin Heidegger described human existence as a process of perpetual falling, and it is the responsibility of each individual to catch ourselves from our own uncertainty. This unsettling prognosis of life informs my present body of work. I continually return to questions regarding the nature of control and its effects on this perceived responsibility, since beyond the basic laws that govern and maintain our equilibrium, we live in a world that constantly tests our stability in various other forms. War and rumors of war, issues of security, effects of globalization, and the politics of identity are external gravities turned inward, serving to further threaten the precarious balance of self, exaggerating negative feelings of control.
My current photographic work is in response to this delicate state. It comprises a culmination of thought and emotion, a tying together of the threads of everything I perceive life has come to represent. It is my understanding and my perspective, which relies on the shifting human conditions of the world that we inhabit. It's exploration resides in the sublime metaphorical space from where balance has been disrupted to the definitive point of no return. It asks the question of what it means to resist the struggle, to simply let go. Or what are the consequences of holding on?
