Absolute Beginner - Artist Statement

This collection documents the tragic beauty of nature in trouble. Its mission - provoke the observer into exploring the causes and the consequences, reconnecting with nature and working toward a solution.

As a human, I enjoy the wonders of discovery and constant advancement that define us as species, but I am also sad that we overlook the wonders so close.

The desire to overcome this condition pushed me in my own exploration, and I am happy to go further on that path day after day.

Created using ambient light, flash, and occasionally ND filters. Colour graded in Lightroom. FujiX100V.
