The concepts of these images include the romanticizing of the natural world and domestic adornment; the narratives depict attempts to control and manipulate the environment to cater to our desires. Many of the photographs represent an artificial and “flawless” nature, while others focus on the romantic notion of wilderness creating a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred. Each narrative is theatrical and staged utilizing factitious props to construct scenes ranging from simple gestures to absurd ritualized tasks. These performances represent our affinity and dissolution with nature and function to lustrate our estrangement with the natural world, coaxing the viewing to contemplate a new perspective on our relationship with nature in even the most mundane of daily routines.
