Series Statement
The world is in a continuous state of flux. Changes are a constant in our lives, though we may not all be aware of them and their influence. This is reflective of the power of life and death; the struggle between these forces informs the human psyche and leaves an indelible impression on it.
Different entities collide in a multitude of ways, leaving behind traces of events that happened or are in the process of happening. The presence of absence is inherent in the results of these interactions, something that informs the human condition and is representative of the search for something greater than ourselves.
