syzygy

syzygy is a search for the interconnectedness of all things, and how these fleeting moments resonate within us. These photographs of the American landscape take place along the backroads in search of the unknown. Over the years, camera in hand, I follow the light, get lost, and find moments in time where I feel that I am in the right place and right time. I make photographs for myself — to better understand my reality and my interpretation of the world and what it is becoming — who I am becoming. The subjects come from a place of intuition, driven by the impulsive desire to consume the stories unfolding around me. I seek the unknown — to see where it has been and where it hopes to go. syzygy reflects on my journey as a photographer and as an observer — exploring the tensions within my own upbringing — summoning traces of the transcendental landscape within the American Midwest. I have this taste for the unknown, forgotten, frayed balls, and loose threads; disappearances, absences. I like to search for traces, often tenuous imprints, at the limit of the invisible, to explore the pits that we consider dark and prefer to hide from our eyes. My images evoke what is fundamentally immaterial. Exposed film reveals a fragile beauty — the deterioration that inevitably strikes everything in this world.
