This is my final photo project for the semester. I’ve included my artist statement below. Let me know what you think! Peace.
Chasing After Deer-
These photos show a range of interactions that people have with nature, some of them direct, others are more subtle. There is an increasing attempt for environmental consciousness in society and with it has come this trend to return to a more natural state of being and this takes many different forms. These images are meant to show something very natural along with something very human. They ask the question of whether or not we can ever return to that state of being as well as the question of to what extent do we succeed in doing what is natural. The title comes from a song by the band Midlake, by the same name, and part of the words go:
For myself I must remind
That the woods are usually kind
And the sea is not mine
And when you’re all alone
And chasing after deer
Don’t be upset if it’s scared
And you can’t reach it
