I was thinking about gravity . The gravity of reality or of grief or of existence. Pondering the way grief is tangible despite our inability of our eyes to perceive it. Our bodies can. Our bodies experiences of gravity to be just as valuable as what we cannot see.
We do not see technology but the products and tangible tools that render it productive - therefore , the bodies of technology experiences the gravity of its functionality.

Artist Statement: I have gravitated to exploring photography theoretically rather than its use as a tool alone. As a result, I am left with the philosophical act of photographing while contemplating its physicality and how this might relate to an exploitive desire to understand and obfuscate perception through visual detail.
As a tool that captures and manipulates light, I also found parallels in the function of black holes, mass and gravitational pulls. A majority of my photographs of image making has always contained aspects of performance. After years of decoding myself in the image I found the draw to existing within the photograph was not a vain attempt but a way to process grief.
