As we all grow from one place, we synthesize our own existence, separating from that which came before, but coming together as time flows on, never truly leaving our past, but creating a story.

There are times in our lives where we feel in tune with the universe, where we can find messages of the divine are hiding in the mundane. It is in these times that we find things that alter our cosmic journey. When walking down the road many times walked down, I happened upon a dead crow. It was hours later that I was reminded as I was watching an episode of the Simpsons, when a line perfectly placed reminded me of the crow and at that moment I jumped out the door to retrieve it before it was cleaned up by the city or a dutiful citizen.

We live in a society that pressures us to renounce nature. We are taught to be masters of the natural world. We are taught to deny our own nature, deny our feelings, our desires, our humanity. In this photo series I go through the spectrum of my relationship with nature. It is a blueprint for breaking the shackles that society has bound on me, to reach the nature within.
