*Future Forward Feature "Being born on Earth is, in itself, both a big and small event. The question, “Why does the moon follow us everywhere we go?”, first asked by my grandmother, has stayed with me. Scientifically, the moon does not follow us; its stillness is an illusion. I began to see a similar parallax between human presence and land. Though land appears immovable, human extraction and development transform it irreversibly. To create images that reflect what the land itself holds, I worked with found objects and soil samples treating them as living archives of place and used them in photographic processes, allowing the material of the land to speak through the image."
