We have never been so separated from nature\, from the essential rhythms and flows which have sustained us. When did we lose our connection\, and can we get it back? Walking in the woods\, our blood pressure drops\, stress hormones decrease\, and our breathing eases. We belong. Human/Nature is a project to show how we are reflected in nature. I shoot photos of natural subjects\, cut the prints into little pieces\, and create collages of human faces and eyes. If we can see ourselves in nature\, made from it rather than conquering it\, perhaps we can start to heal our relationship and support a more sustainable future.
