“Of the Earth” is a series of color photographs that depict nature and the human form. Through self-portraiture, I explore my connectedness to nature, with respect to its life cycles. This series is also taken at a time when I am experiencing my first pregnancy- when I have felt more grounded and more connected with my body than ever. By using a mix of gestures paired with the organic shapes of nature, as well as the exploration of natural textures, I convey a sense of unification on both a physical and metaphysical plane. Throughout this series, I constantly find myself asking: “What does it mean to be a part of the environment, and how can I identify with it?” I freely investigate these questions without an expectation of finding an answer.
