19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Let the Sea be You

The picture depicts a narrative from my most recent body of work. I work with the idea of an alternate reality in an individual’s existence relating to what was and what is. The ephemeral quality in the narrative is what I am trying to achieve. Decay and dissolutions of what was once beautiful.The picture was captured at a Crystal Cove and The rocks were superimposed and licensed and bought. Sculpture Skies and sands is created by me.
