With the Natura humana series I am exploring our senses as our connection to natural elements. I believe that a reconstruction of perceptual boundaries between humans and the environment cultivates a paradigm of mutual and receptive co-evolution. Each image combines multiple negatives in a traditional darkroom. I begin with positive and negative space as a spin-off of common psychological assessments on perception. I isolate a form from nature and incorporate a human shape or detail within. Each image has a complement with either a positive or negative background. The duality of these pairings emphasizes the struggle to find a new equilibrium.
