Photographing, for me, is a means of giving expression to both the internal and external processes that shape our experience of life. These images are a work in progress about my parents, and stem from a desire to address the inevitable changes wrought by my father's approaching death. The work is about the specific context of my family, a means to contemplate life and the invisible bonds of love. It is also an exploration of the constantly-shifting nature of life, of time, and the potential of photographs to open up the realm of experience via their poetic as well as indexical reality.
