Family life, while blossoming with promise can feel like slow suffocation. WonderLust
is a visceral response to my immediate surroundings - a world where I’m at home yet
hovering on the periphery, an insider and outsider at once. Through these images I find my
place within my family’s framework and that of a larger existence. My photographs are
small rewards; sublime bits risen from the everyday.
I live here.
A sense of wonder and thrill of attraction is at the core of this series. I’m struck by
the accidental image: a flash of color, a passing gesture. Details make me tingle. I need
to experience deeply what is here, right now.
WonderLust embraces sensation in a world brimming with stand-ins for what is authentic.
I find it all quite stirring. It's as if I have no choice but to turn my irresistible
desire into something tangible, into a photograph. I want to seduce the viewer to feel as
I do – to know pleasure, to be alive.
