As a person who deals with my own internal being and desires to know who I truly am, photography is a medium through which I encounter myself, question my perceptions, and try to understand what matters to me. Walking Around is a project that symbolizes my personal journey through life. It explores how we find our way, even when we cannot control where we begin. We are free, but everywhere in chains—running up against our own internal limits at all turns. Walking through life, as free as possible, we carry a sub-conscious and a variety of inherited impulses which appear to us as duality. This duality follows us, tending to be expressed as internal conflict. The photos in this project have geometric harmony, but with one object or aspect in the picture that creates an imbalance. This moment moves attention and generates questions. Walking Around deals with human life as a quest to understand and accept who we really are and the mosaic that lies beneath our individuality.
