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.
