Herbaceous

ByMetanexus Editors

Everywhere you look, there is a hidden world that is unseen to the naked eye. Each plant, animal, speck of dust has its own story to tell. Through my photography, I aim to be the bridge between these microscopic worlds and the humans they coexist with. Often we overlook the smallest parts of life, taking for granted the technology, mechanism, or evolution that went into making these objects what they are today. My goal is to present these objects in ways they have never been seen before. Through bright colors, enlargement, and a few other modern marvels, I feel as though I can shed a new light on these hidden worlds and, in time, create a deeper appreciation and attention to detail among those who view my work.

    My work is spiritual and centering, told with simplicity, expressing in color and composition what cannot be spoken with words. It embodies the music, harmony, and mystery of the Universe, the underlying energy of our world, the music of being within all things, creating a peaceful, harmonious space wherein one can experience silence, stillpoint, and oneness with all.
