Excuse Me, I Have Work To Do

“I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall—what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do.”

― Mary Oliver

This series explores how the two forces of nature and biology collide within me. Nature is undulating in its activity, concerned only with carrying out its biological processes—and this is a comfort for a flighty human creature like me. Layering self portraits over moving landscapes was a form of meditation that pays homage to the natural phenomena that have shaped me.
