All of my pieces focus on human interactions with the environment, and the way in which the environment reacts. Each was created to be discomfiting with an element of surrealism, in order to convey the unacknowledged yet unsettling environmental effects of ordinary human activity. Not only does my art provoke perturbation within the viewer, but it also asks one to question how these environmental injustices could occur discreetly in the first place. As my artwork progressed, I began to add more human figures in my work, so that our effect on the natural world was more immediately palpable. Additionally, I also refined my sense of lighting, and used multiple tones and shades for highlights and shadows.
