Migration is a promise. It is commonly regarded as a ritual for birds. Every year they journey for the survival of the species, promising to return the following year. This is one of many undeclared promises existing on Earth, providing its inhabitants with order in what is a chaotic existence. It is these promises so delicately intertwined with the cycle of life that are of particular interest to me.

I found myself needing to not only explore promises, but to make promises. I began my own form of migration, venturing to the forest, working and reworking the space with installations and performances. This manner of working caused me to regress to my childhood when I would play in the forest, building contraptions destined to save the world. I would use the materials readily available to me and through the power of imagination, they would take on new meaning. This child-like approach became a parameter I set for myself as I created my images.

The forest was no longer just my stage. It was my playground. The trees became my beloved companions. I returned to a time which anything and everything seemed possible. All that remains of my journey is a series of photographs exploring a multitude of ideas, emotions, and experiences both as simple and complex as the forest itself.
