Using the city as my canvas, I explore Boston and NYC with my camera. I seek to explore what my spiritual eye can see that is not initially apparent to my material eye. As I photograph I ask myself, how can I move beyond the obvious reality? In what ways can I transform it? By layering colors, reflections, textures, shadows and light, I strive to photograph an imagined reality. My aim is to create a new world within the frame, organizing pieces of my reality into abstraction. In my photographs, I create tension between what appears to be real and what appears to be a fantasy and question if the world we live in is a mirage, where what we see is an illusion.
