The Light of Heaven

My work uses temporal, analog photographic practices to confront viewers with questions surrounding cultural funerary practices and the discomforts of death. The very act of viewing an ephemeral photographic image is predicated on its own loss, since unfixed images exist only for finite durations. This short-lived lifespan asks us to reflect upon our own existence, as these photographs connect us to the ticking clock of our own mortality. I use the cemetery as my subject, a physical landscape that acts as an archive itself and look to these in-between spaces of life and death to reckon with humanity's own demise.
