Sustained investigation

Artist statement:

For this sustained investigation, I feel like my message might not be the most clear, but if you go through the pictures asking "where are all the people", I feel like it is more clear. In every picture I really tried my best to make it feel empty, devoid of people or signs of people like vehicles. Every picture shows something lived in, a place people have been, or might be, but there is no one there. I wanted this series of pictures to feel isolating, maybe even unsettling. I don't know if I completely accomplished this, as some pictures taken in the same location make it feel like i lost the effect of familiar places feeling unfamiliar, becasue when you see one place from multiple locations it becomes to feel less distant. I also tried to mix in some pictures of indoor places that were lacking people, especially places that look like there should be people there in that moment, like the dirty theater or a brightly lit bull moose. I also got pictures of empty roads becasue they add to that empty effect.
