Sometimes you don't know why you're doing something. You're intuitively following, to see where it leads.

I wish my artwork could persuade millions of people to join a global conversation about sustainability.

Water, like many other resources is harvested, transported and used throughout all aspects of society. Unlike other resources, water is critical to the survival of all forms of life. The underlying question that sits at the core of my exploration is to what degree can we shape water before it begins to shape us.

Somebody referred to what I do as subliminal activism, which I like.

I can go into the wilderness and not see anyone for days and experience a kind of space that hasn't changed for tens of thousands of years. Having that experience was necessary to my perception of how photography can look at the changes humanity has brought about in the landscape. My work does become a kind of lament.
