BEHIND THE LENS
The human mind is adept at instantly processing visual information and discerning what is important. Despite this powerful ability, it is unable to purposely ignore specific details such as color or texture. Conversely, the camera can filter visual information and decompose our reality into its constituent elements.
With a background in medicine and science, I am passionate about uncovering connections between seemingly disparate things. It is remarkable to find tree branches resembling the bifurcation of the carotid artery or mold spots resembling galaxies. These patterns that transcend species demonstrate the complexity of life, from transience and frailty to permanence and robustness, and, ultimately, its inherent beauty.
