Artist Statement: During the pandemic, I’ve been able to rearrange my priorities through reflecting with the endless amount of alone time it provides. With lots of contemplation, and the world opening up slowly, spending time with friends has been a really prominent part of my day. On May 27th, this picture was taken to capture The Meaning of Life. This perfect day, surrounded by friends, and the surrean confines of nature was too magnificent to let slip away. That being said, my friend Alex (the subject in the photo) has taught me that “If your life is predictable, is it really worth living?” I challenge anyone who reads this to reflect and see if what you do in your everyday life truly sparks joy in you.
