Project: Forest Floor
These images are from a body of work entitled "Forest Floor". The pictures in this selection were made in New York City; Sendai, Japan; and Dubai, The United Arab Emirates. Locations range from the most expensive single development in the history of New York, the quiet streets of a post tsunami Sendai, to the immense construction sites of Dubai. I focus on conflicts taking place at the boarders of development and nature, entropy and technology, the built and the ruin, the light and the dark. Each image is illuminated with studio lighting. I contemplate the meaning of things that are discarded and destroyed, looking for a psychological stillness that contradicts the prevailing logic of our time.
