DON'T GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOODNIGHT
 

Photography tells stories and evokes feelings. The camera becomes a tool for creating images that are both real and surreal, bringing memories into conversation with fresh observations of everyday surroundings. As the story grows, conscious invention increasingly shapes what the subconscious first suggests, allowing thought to take form as an image. By arranging a scene, we gain control over how a memory is revealed.

​

As we follow the story, our conscience is quick to make its absurdities seem reasonable. We live and dream as though nothing happening around us could awaken our sensitivity—as though we were always asleep. The irony is that, even as forces have seemed to prepare catastrophe for the human race in the name of reality and enlightenment, we have continued in the name of progress.

​

This story traces a personal biography through places: a recreation of memory shaped by place, perception, and the moments that might awaken us.
