19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Residual Remains of the Past

This narrative in my new body of work shows a archaic appearing silhouette of a figure with washed up shadow which is washed up by the ocean. The symbolic references are all metaphorical and relates from personal and collective experiences. I not only enjoyed photographing this work I equally enjoyed embossing it hand painting digitally and using multiple layers and methodologies to bring it to have a haunting resonance.
