My photographic practice seeks to explore the intersection of memory, time, and the environment through the use of ethereal imagery. By exploring the concept of memory, I am interested in how our perception of a place can change over time, particularly in relation to the complex and often intangible effects of climate change.

I start with a single digital photograph and create 10-20 “variants” in Photoshop. I then select two to three variants and combine them together digitally into a single lenticular print. When displayed, the viewer can move around the print and the images will fade in and out of one another creating a surreal effect.”
