Life and Death

Modern people rarely see death as part of life. We tend to ignore it until it is upon us or our loved ones; same goes for depression. In both cases, they offer opportunities for us to engage and understand life. The entire photo project shown on this website began as a question: How has War and Genocide touched me. A bit hard to avoid the subject of death, hopelessness, and life’s part in it. Yet, this exploration resulted in a stronger connection to the eternal realities of existence as well as a pictorial representation of the spectrum of life and death and our equal immersion in both.. Although not explicitly stated, I have hoped to juxtapose the living elements in the photos with the dead ones.
