Senior Thesis - Fall 2012

Into the Not-So-Wild

The constructed dialogues featured in my series of photographs are inspired by the encroaching human presence in nature. The images mix wonder and oddity into the viewer, while also creating a play between the natural and artificial. By incorporating man-made items, such as trash, tires, and construction tools and placing them in a foreign environment, I aim to make an exaggerated statement on our human footprint, creating a literal invasion on the once untouched landscapes. These subtle manipulations in everyday landscapes trick the eye into imagining a future where these scenes are reality. The images intend to evoke personal interpretation and in turn allow the viewer to question their own environmental impact.
