The gaps between seeing something, seeing it as an artifact, and experiencing it are rarely wider than this botanicals. Representation disconnects us from how we experience plants as dynamic things that exist in time and in community rather than in isolation. My "Overgrowths" series seeks to narrow these gaps through their layering and their frequent use of slow shutter techniques, which often incorporate in-shot changes of zoom level and intentional movement. This image, like the majority of the Overgrowth series is composed of layers from neighborhood walks.
