(in)Securities

Often, art is just as much of a coping mechanism as it is a means of expression. (in)Securities is a body of work emerging from a period of personal and artistic stagnation, much of which stemmed from a fear of putting myself into (what I perceive as) uncomfortable situations. In my work there is nothing more discomforting than photographing people. Five semesters of immersion in urban landscape photography came to an end when I was offered a challenge by my professors to confront that anxiety. These images represent my response to that challenge.
