“Anti-trespassing configurations”
“When an object that does not belong is inserted into an every day scene, the ordinary elements warrant a closer look. I photograph compositions which evoke the strangeness latent in reality. I like to explore these instances, and come back to different landscapes. I am often drawn to those in Mexico, where the soda bottles that cover the rebar of fragmented homes, evidence for the hope of building a second floor. The dividing edges filled with crushed bottles, resonate with the alternatives used to reach safety, a beautiful but threatening sight.”
