This series is inspired by the following lines from the American objectivist
poet George Oppen, "The self is no mystery, the mystery is / That there
is something for us to stand on" (from the poem "World, World--"). In
other words, the real mystery of our existence is grounded in the fact, in
the wonder, that there is existence at all. This series of images is, in part,
a reflection on such questions of ontology as experienced in and through
the landscape by an individual.
