Statement
There are many layers to how we see and make sense of our surroundings and experiences. Momentary fragments in a constant state of transformation possess dual qualities. Deteriorating papers speak of permanence and impermanence; worn fabrics touch upon loss and desire; a fleeting glimpse evokes a feeling of presence and absence. These visual metaphors become parts of a language used to contemplate the human experience.
