Things are Weird 

This series was inspired by Dwane Michals "Things are Queer" series. Dwane is known for shooting photographs with well crafted narratives. In his series "Things are Queer" he takes viewers on a journey; questioning the reality of the environment. 

In this interpretation "Things Are Weird," you'll find the first photograph is also the last of the series. This series is structured to loop around, similarly to Dwane Michals's series. As you view each photograph; scale and and proportion becomes distorted and it becomes difficult distinguishing what is real, and what is an illusion. 

Produce vs Body

You’ve heard the statement “You are what you eat,” but do we give the same respect to our bodies that we do to our food? Even on the days when you may not feel your body ‘looks’ up to your standards, it’s still doing so many things to keep you alive and participating in your life. Foods that are good for your body have a closer resemblance than you would have thought. Regardless of what they look like on the outside, they’re doing a lot for you on the inside.

Fruits and vegetables come in all shapes and sizes, and they usually have some sort of imperfection or bruise, but still taste delicious and fresh regardless. Our bodies are also uniquely designed with bumps, curves, and small imperfections that we may not like. Nature’s design isn’t meant to be perfect, and the features we may find ugly, are what makes us authentic and beautiful. Through texture, shape, and form you’ll find interesting comparisons between fresh produce and the human body.
