'Last Night The Sun Came' is a photographic exploration into spirituality, invisible realities, and photographic truths. The work documents, interviews, and interprets Western Esoteric groups whose beliefs sit within the physical and metaphysical world. The images engage with conventional and conceptual documentary approaches, employing representative and non-representative imagery to explore each Esoteric actuality. Layers of magic and mystery are built through darkroom abstractions and physical realities, creating interweaving narrative structures and ambiguous and experimental iconography. The blurred lines between the documentary and fiction create thought, not definition, allowing objective interpretations of each unseen reality and belief.
