Internal Landscape and is a series of work inspired by the transformative power of memory, empathy, intimacy and spiritual communion between one's self and the external land. 
This photographic work examines the transpersonal experience of place and immediacy through the senses, as perceived through the body. Through the atmospheric landscape and maniupulation of the horizon , the familiar elements of space and time are subverted. This visual subversion invites the viewer to conjure a new interpretation that is less associated with form. Viewing becomes phenomenological, unique to subjective interpretation and experience. The boundaries of the object – the shape of the landscape – become projections of the subject - the viewer’s own internal state or experience. Upon viewing, the external shifts the internal, and the internal, shifts the external. I believe this type of communion is life generating and transpersonal, connecting us with our divine creator. The camera becomes the medium through which the perception of experience is briefly contained, and a moment of wholeness is potentiated.
