Still Life, 2018
This series highlights ordinary, man-made objects. With technology that enables cameras to freeze movement, photographers are no longer limited to depicting still objects. However, in this series, I wanted to use the camera to capture stillness instead of motion. I chose to use white on white in an effort to sanctify utilitarian objects, such as a cup or a pile of papers. By making everyday objects the subject of carefully staged images, I hoped to elevate these items and invite the viewer to pay close attention to their forms and the direction of light.
